Picture a 3-on-3 HR Derby with defense. A single game takes about 30 minutes. Each player gets one at-bat of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Teams earn offensive points for home runs and defensive points for catches. Bonus points are earned by hitting home runs through a centerfield target. During each at bat, batters can call for a hot streak of 5 swings where everything counts double. In the final minute of an at bat, batters can tag in a teammate to finish with a flourish. At the end of the game, the team with the most points wins. It’s that simple.
