Welcome to the Home Run Survival Challenge! This will work similarly to an NFL Survival/Suicide league, but instead of picking a team to win a game every week, you are picking a player to hit a home run at some point during the week.
Rules: 1. Pick one player for the week. If that player hits a home run during that week, you advance. If he does not, you are eliminated. 2. You may not pick the same player twice during the season. 3. You may not pick a player from the same team in consecutive weeks. 4. The weeks will start on Monday and end on Sunday. 5. Picks for that week must be in by 7 PM ET on Monday. 6. You may not change picks after this deadline. 7. You may pick players in advance if you wish. Also, I plan to put the topic for the following week up on Fridays, so you can get your pick in early even if you are still waiting on the results for the current week. 8. No alts. You only get one shot at this. 9. I will offer a one-time-only pass for injuries. If your pick is healthy at the start of the week, but plays less than two complete games in the week because of a sudden injury and doesn't hit a home run, you will be spared from elimination. You can only receive this free pass once; if it happens again, you will be eliminated. 10. If your pick's game is postponed out of the week (even from Sunday to Monday), you lose it.
I'm getting this topic up a bit earlier than I would like, but if I wait until tomorrow, I'm gonna be busy and I'd get it up later than I would like. I probably won't get the schedule up until tomorrow night, but you can start getting picks in now, then if you want to change after you see the schedule, you can.
33 people have entered into the contest. So far, 19 are safe in the first week. If you're not safe yet, you can still pick now in case you do advance.
