The games are done differently than typical baseball games. There is a two-hour time limit, it’s a strike if a hitter steps out of the box, the team with the most runs in an inning gets a point, and many more different rules.

Tickets can be purchased online only through their lottery list. Anyone interested can sign up now until Nov. 1, 2024. After joining the list, a random drawing will take place two months before the event. Those who get drawn can buy the tickets starting at $35.
