Bison Baseball 2014 Omaha Challenge

Rules:             

1. There are 17 pitchers and 17 position players competing against each other in 20 individual events.  There will be two individual winners - one pitcher and one position player. There are six teams competing in eight team events and in the end there will be just one Winning Team.  Individual event scores will be added up for all team members and that total will go toward the team score.  Only five players’ scores will count with the lowest score being thrown out on teams of six for individual events.  Teams that do not have five countable scores due to injury, their lowest score will be doubled to count as the 5^th score for the individual event. Team event scoring will not be included into the individual scoring. Only five players will participate in team events.
2. Individual events receive point values: 1-34 depending on place of finish (1st place will receive 34 and so on down the list). The final individual event is the Obstacle Course and is worth double the point value individually and towards the team score for that event. The final team event, the Fireman’s Carry,  is also worth double points.
3. The Winning team will receive a T-shirt and their name/picture on the plaque in the weight room.
4. "Everything Counts" - Every rep, every step and every second make a difference.
