All participants in the Qualifying Rounds will receive tickets for themselves and a guest to see an advance screening of Disney’s Million Dollar Arm at an AMC Theatres location later that evening.

The top three eligible pitchers with the fastest pitches from each Qualifying Round location will be selected as finalists and flown with his or her guest to compete for the $1 million in the final contest, which will take place at the world premiere of Disney’s Million Dollar Arm in Hollywood, Calif., on May 6, 2014. 

In the final contest, each eligible finalist will have three pitches to throw one 100 mph strike to become a potential winner of the $1 million grand prize.

The nine finalists and their guests will be VIPs at the world premiere of Million Dollar Arm in Hollywood, Calif., on May 6, 2014, along with stars, filmmakers, major league players, coaches, scouts and celebrities.
