Game Format:\u00a0\u00a0The game will be broken up into three (3) separate three (3) inning games. An intermission similar to hockey will separate each three-inning game and will feature entertainment acts. Best two out of three wins.<\/p>\n

Game 3: New Jacked Baseball rules are now in play. Below are each of the new rules that will be featured:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Home Run Derby.\u00a0The Jacked Baseball final game starts with a HR derby with each home run counting as a run. The final three innings are played after.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Bigger Bat Barrels\u00a0(2 \u00be vs. 2 \u215d)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Juiced Baseballs\u00a0(ball travels approx 20 ft farther)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    3 ball counts\u00a0require a fastball to be pitched<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    The Penalty Box\u00a0(Similar to hockey, if the pitcher hits a batter, the fielding team loses a player to the Penalty Box until an out is recorded)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jacked Baseball Rules<\/a>\u00a0are all designed to\u00a0increase offense\u00a0and add more\u00a0exciting moments.<\/p>\n

    Every major sport across the U.S. has adapted its rules over time to benefit the offense and create a more exciting game. Every sport except baseball. America’s two most popular sports, the NFL & NBA, continue to change rules to restrict the defense and give the offense more room for scoring. This increased offense has led to more touchdown celebrations, more slam dunks, more action, and a more watchable game for the casual fan.<\/p>\n

    The creators of the event are Outlier Events, a national festival and special event company based in Kalamazoo, MI. Outlier Events has made waves across the country for their \u201cover the top\u201d events including the world\u2019s first Donut and Beer Festival, the country\u2019s first Tater tot festival, state Mac and Cheese Festivals, and many more.<\/p>\n
