Banana Ball Showdown Tiebreaker: Rounds & Walk-Off Rules

Quick answer: A tied Banana Ball game moves to a Showdown: hitter versus a reduced defense, with the setup changing by round until there is a winner.

Round 1

Pitcher, catcher and one fielder face one hitter.

Round 2

Pitcher and catcher face the hitter with no extra fielder.

Round 3 and later

The format returns one fielder and uses loaded bases, with every run counting as a point. If the tie survives, the rounds continue.

Instant walk-off

A home run over the outfield wall can end the Showdown immediately.
