Editing Home Run Derby (section)

====2014====
The Home Run Derby format was changed significantly in 2014, as MLB sought to speed up the contest and increase the drama. In the new bracket format, five players from each league faced the other players in their league in Round 1, with each players having seven "outs". The player in each league with the highest Round 1 total received a second-round bye, and the players with the second- and third-highest Round 1 totals from each league faced off. The Round 2 winner from each league faced the Round 1 winner, and the Round 3 winner crowned the league winner. The final featured the winner of each league. Each round stands alone, with the score reset for each round.<ref>[http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article//home-run-derby-to-feature-bracketed-play-as-part-of-new-format?content_id=81241076&partnerId=as_mlb_20140623_26563166&ymd=20140623 Derby to feature bracketed play as part of new format]</ref> Ties in any round are broken by a 3-swing swing-off. If the players remain tied, the players engage in a sudden-death swing-off until one player homers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2107593-mlb-announces-changes-to-2014-home-run-derby-format-and-rules|title=HR Derby Gets New Format, Rules|last=Keeney|first=Tim|website=[[Bleacher Report]] |access-date=2016-07-12}}</ref>
