Medford Lakes Men's Softball Award Guidelines for: HR Derby, All-Star voting, Golden Glove, Rookie, and Cy Young and all other competitive events.

First Round: Hit as many home runs as you can before making 7 outs. The top five people advance to the Second/Final Round where they get 5 outs to hit as many home runs as they can. The person with the Most Home Runs in the Final Round is the Winner.

Rules for Participating:"Top 10" HR leaders are only elligible for the HR Derby...along with past Champions

1. Each person picks a number out of a hat to determine hitting order in the first round.

3. Group One ( hat picks #1 -5) will hit first // Group Two (hat picks 6 - 10 ) will take the field and collect balls // Group three ( hat picks 11 - 15 ) will line the street, center and right field HR areas and collect balls.

4. After Group One is finished each group will rotate to Group 2 batting, group 3 field and group 1 in the street.

5. If you don't qualify for remaining rounds you still have the responsibility to collect the balls in the field or street- so don't disappear.

1. Into the street in the air in Left/ Left Center / Straight-away center- is a Home Run

2. Into the woods in Right Field or over the drawn distance line in Straight Away Center or Right Center field is a Home Run

3. Any Ground Ball, Foul Ball, Swing and Miss, Pop-up that does not reach either #1 or #2 above is an OUT.

Note: One judge will be placed in left field and have a pre-determined mark ( Same height as normal Home Run) that if a ball hits any of the trees at this location or higher will be deemed a Home Run.

5. You can pick any available pitcher you want but you must decide and provide name prior to the beginning of the competition.

6. Each man gets 7 outs for the first round. You only have to swing when you get " Your" pitch.

3. Person with the most runs in First Round can go either first or last. This will decide the order in the round. If he wants to bat first then order will follow by next highest total: first, second, third, fourth, & fifth, or vice versa if he wants to bat last then least amount of Home Runs first to most amount last.

4. Most Home Runs Wins. If there is a tie among the Finalists then each person alternates batting until a winner is determined.

1. Advancement to second/final round: If there is a tie in any of the top five spots, only the top five people advance. (e.g. If you rank five but there are more than five people tied with more HR's ahead of you, yer out sucka!).

2. If top four people advance and there is a tie for fifth, the top four plus fifth place ties advance to second/final round.

2. Placement in the second/final round: If two people are tied with the same amount of Home Runs and definitely are confirmed to have qualified for the next round then a coin toss decides their respective placement.
