IBL Update

I just read the rules for the Home Run Derby in the Israel Baseball League. To repeat, if the game is tied after 7 innings (a full game), they go to a HRD to determine the winner. Here's how it goes:

3 batters per team
alternating teams (i.e. first visiting hitter, then first home hitter)
each batter gets 6 SWINGS (maximum 6 home runs)
anybody can hit unless suspended or ejected (not including coaches)
anybody can pitch unless suspended or ejected (this includes coaches)

If still tied after all three hitters from each team, they go for another round of three. The teams can trade out hitters at this point, if desired. However, if one team is winning after a pair of hitters, then they call it a game.

Any questions?
