Under Banana Ball rules, foul balls caught by fans in the stands count as outs. If a game remains tied at the end of regulation time, the winner is decided in a one-on-one tiebreaker showdown.

Tickets for the Jacksonville games will be distributed through a lottery. Joining the registration list does not guarantee an opportunity to purchase tickets. Access will be determined through a random drawing held before the games.

Fans seeking tickets must register for the Ticket Lottery List at www.bananaball.com/tickets by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Oct. 31.
