MLB Dinger Derby Pool

Official Pool Rules

Please read all guidelines carefully before submitting your entry.

Entries violating any eligibility/entry fee criteria will be disqualified instantly.
Section 1: General/Entry
1.1 General Pool Info

The MLB Dinger Derby pool is a box style pool where you pick players from boxes on a picksheet. For each homerun your players hit, you earn one point. It doesn't matter if it goes 475ft, or doesn't leave the park; if the MLB counts it as a home run, it counts in the pool. The entry with the most points at the end of the regular season wins.

1.2 Eligibility & Age Requirements

The contest is open to individuals who are residents of Canada and 18 years of age or older at the time of entry.

1.3 Pool Host/Provider

This pool is hosted on dingerderby.ca. Entries, selections, results and standings are available there at all times once the season begins. The results listed on the pool provider are considered official once the season is complete and totals have been validated against MLB.com statistics.

1.4 Entry/Fee
  1. All entries must be submitted to the pool manager prior to the listed deadline.
  2. Entry fees are due by the entry deadline.
  3. Entry fee payment details will be listed on the picksheet, which is available through the pool hosting provider (in person or EMT only).

3.2 Overall Prize Pool

  3. Entrants with multiple entries are eligible to earn multiple year-end prizes.
  4. All ties in the overall standings will split the according prizes (eg. a tie for 2nd splits the total of 2nd & 3rd place prizes).
