HOME RUN DERBY: Must provide your own COACH pitcher and shaggers. Each player gets 8-pitches or 5-swings, whichever comes first. If a tie occurs, players will have their balls over the fence measured to determine winners.
GOLDEN ARM: Player will stand 150-feet from home plate in CF and have 4-throws to try and hit a target at Home Plate. Most targets hit wins.

Some age divisions may be moved closer to target.
