Derby Goes Swing-First: MLB Abandons Clock in Fresh Home Run Derby Format

MLB's Home Run Derby swaps the clock for a swing-based format: 20 swings in the first round, 15 in the semis and final, with hitters allowed to swing again after a homer on the last attempt until they record an out. Ties are decided by the longest homer in round 1, then by three extra swings in later rounds. Eight players start, four advance to round 2 (which is head‑to‑head), and two reach the final. The change aims to improve the viewing experience as Netflix takes over the broadcast for the July 13 event at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia; ESPN previously aired the derby.

Snowy, Cold Clash Prompts One-Day, Heat-Free Format

Winter weather threatens the NASCAR Cup Series Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium, pushing officials to run a one-day, heat-free program on Sunday after Saturday activity was postponed. The plan splits drivers into three practice groups with final-session times determining the main-event lineup, cancels Saturday’s heat races, and adds a 75-lap last-chance qualifier on Sunday for two spots in the 200-lap feature. The 23rd spot goes to the top points driver not yet qualified, with Kyle Larson guaranteed a spot; the race will have a midway break at lap 100, only green-flag laps count, and must finish under caution, while Chase Elliott won last year’s event.

NBA All-Star Game to Feature Pickup-Style Tournament Format

The NBA is considering a new tournament-style format for its All-Star Game, featuring four teams coached by the top staffs from the Eastern and Western Conferences. This format would include three teams of NBA All-Stars and a fourth team of rookies and sophomores, with games played to target scores instead of traditional quarters. The league is still finalizing details, including prize money and team selection, with the potential for multiple losing teams under the new structure.

The projected playoff matchups after the final CFP Rankings release include Missouri vs. Oregon, Liberty vs. Florida State, Ole Miss vs. Georgia, and Penn State vs. Ohio State.

"CFP Format Faces Uncertainty Amidst Pac-12's Demise: Decision Looms This Fall"

The College Football Playoff (CFP) Management Committee, consisting of conference commissioners and Notre Dame's AD, is expected to discuss potential adjustments to the approved 12-team playoff format, known as the 6+6 model, following the recent wave of realignment. The format change, which requires unanimous approval, could involve a 5+7 model that eliminates an automatic qualifying spot and adds an at-large berth. The Pac-12's uncertain future and the possibility of a two-school conference further complicate the decision-making process. The committee aims to reach a decision on the format this fall, with potential changes taking effect in the 2024 season.

College Football Playoff Format to Change Again; Pac-12's Future Uncertain as 5 Universities Depart

The CFB Playoff is expected to change its format again before the next season, with a shift in the selection process. The collapse of the Pac-12 is a major reason for the change, and the SEC and Big Ten are likely to favor more than a minor adjustment. The current plan for the 2024 season includes automatic bids for the top six conference champions, but there is debate over whether this is the right approach. Some argue for a 12-team format with no automatic qualifiers, while others believe including underdog teams would be good for business and television ratings.
