CHALLENGE INFO
Weekly Challenges start on Friday at 12:00 PM PT and end the following Friday at 11:59 PM PT. Any score posted past this time will not count towards your Challenge of the Week score.
USER SETTINGS
Challenge of the Week uses your User Settings while playing the mode. Be sure to check options within the pause menu to adjust your batting views and User Settings to help gain an edge.
SCORING
Balls that are hit in play will receive one point per foot traveled and will be multiplied by your total momentum boost. Balls hit foul will also receive one point per foot traveled but will not be multiplied by your total momentum boost.
Three consecutive hits will increase the difficulty level and provide a momentum boost multiplier.
Different hit types will provide a different momentum boost multiplier.
Difficulty resets to Rookie and momentum boost resets back to X1 after each out.
Taking balls can raise your multiplier quickly.
Once the contestant scores their third out, the challenge is over and the contestant’s score is recorded to the leaderboard for that week. When a contestant participates in a weekly challenge more than once, the best score will overwrite the previous score.
BONUSES
