HR Derby - Contest

[Laura]

Interested in a HR Derby?

 

The idea is to pick 10 players from the lists below and have the most total HRs in the '06 Regular Season.

 

Rules are simple:

 

There are 4 groups of players.

Pick 1 player from Group A,

2 players from Group B,

3 players from Group C &

4 players from Group D.

 

Bonus: Pick one player who does not appear on any list above. His HRs will be added to your total.

 

Tiebreaker: the winner is whoever posted his/her list first.

 

Entries due by 5:00 pm CT on Sunday, April 2. This thread will be locked at that time.

 

Please doublecheck your entries before the deadline. Entries that don't follow the rules will be disqualified.

 

You can edit your entry up until the thread is locked. If you're worried about someone copying you, remember that ties go to the first person who posts the entry.

 

The contest is open to everyone. Prize TBD -- probably one prize to the 1st place winner. The prize will depend on what is donated.

 

ETA: Yes, "everyone" does include fans of other teams. The only caveat is that you must be in good standing at NSBB (not permanently banned) when the contest ends to win the prize.
