Announcing Home Run Derby (2025) - A fun game to play!

Announcing the 2025 Home Run Derby!
Hello and welcome to the official announcement for the 2025 Home Run Derby game that has been played over at Northside Baseball's Forum since the early 2000’s! If you’re reading this on NSBB, welcome back! If you’re reading this on Twins Daily or Brewers Fanatic - Hello and consider this your official invitation to play our 2025 Home Run Derby!

If you are reading this and you have not played before, it is a form of “fantasy baseball” but without the day-to-day need to check your roster. There are no fantasy points for statistical offense, with the exception of Home Runs, of course!

I am working with Brock Beauchamp to get the word out as much as we possibly can, in order to generate re(new)ed interest in this great and fun game. We are “crossing the streams” for this campaign, and we are opening up the participation to multiple forums. For the 2025 Season, this game will be played between Northside Baseball, Twins Daily, and Brewer Fanatic! Members from each forum can sign-up to play and participate!

To read up on everything about the Home Run Derby, you can visit this Wiki site here. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I have been running this game since 2006-2007. I’m still in the process of updating the rules pages, along with the groups/tiers for the upcoming 2025 season. More information will follow here in this community. I look forward to playing alongside all the new (and returning) members!

Join up if this interests you! If the project proves popular, we'll try to develop an interface and some automation for the game next season.

I was able to figure out the correct link, thanks for the heads up.

Looks interesting.  Is this free?  Is it just for bragging rights?

We'll probably pony up for some prizes but we haven't fully discussed what that means yet.

But free to play, yes!

Sorry about the link - Brock was correct and I have fixed the OP.
