Did you plan to erase the scores and replace with the tables? Because it appears the scores are gone.

I'm glad to see the tables, but I kinda still want to see the scores.

Check the spoiler.

Where's the alm: emoji when you need it .... I'm sorry. I'm so blind.

[Chromatika]

Just a question.

Based from the scores, who was the home team; the first-listed team or the second-listed team? Because the second-listed teams was given the advantage of not playing the bottom of the ninth inning if the score was in favor of them. Thanks!

Baseball is a weird sport to scorinate. In order to get the first team listed to be home, you need to put your group into reverse order in xkoronate. It appears Chrom didn't do that, so the second team listed will be the home team.

This indeed appears to be the case. I forgot baseball does that. Thankfully there isn't a "apply home field advantage" for baseball. I will change the OP soon, and apologies to everyone. Definitely something to remind every host from this point on.

Goddammit. 2-4. Why the fuck, Margaret? She hates me.

Your salt fuels me. Stay salty.

The two best teams in our group are doing worse than the unranked in our group. FFS.

[Chromatika]

Frenline, the group is very tight, let things play its course.

I have a table that keeps track of H2H, so when ties in standings start happening between teams that have already played each other, I'll incorporate those. Until then, RD is the tiebreaker.

I feel like Margaret is really lazy and doesn't care about Baseball so she just rolls dice on it instead of actually screwing over as usual. Except her dice are worse at screwing teams over than she is.

I understand that. However, I feel within my rights to feel salty if results don't go my way. After all, randomness is part of the NS Forumla, but that doesnMt mean I can't get a little mirfed about it.

Don't worry Frenline, this isn't the only sport Margaret is messing with.

True, true. My apologies, I get a little defensive while I'm hosting. I need to remind myself that I do that too, when I'm invested.

Tables to be completed later tonight, have to go for a little bit.

EDIT: Tables completed.

[Frenline Delpha]

Thanks you Margaret. Finally, you smile on me.

Storylines:

Group A: Schlitzberg and Jeckland seem to have this group won.
Group B: Super-Llamaland is dominating. Chromatika or U.S. of Devonta? Anyone's pick.
Group C: Anyone's group here. One sweep or one being swept and you're in a lot of trouble. A nailbiter to the very end, it seems.
Group D: Three-way tie for second, with Ethane only two games ahead. Despite a record of 8-7, The Royal Barangay is the first team to concede hundred runs.
Group E: Saintland and Maklohi Vai. Flardania looking in.
Group F: South Yerfilag barely over Nova Anglicana and San Llera.

Remember, Group winners get 1-6 seeds, then 7-18 are seeded, with the four lowest ones going to the play-in round.

Please feel free to check my math concerning your team.

Yo, spell my name right, bro. Schiltz is love, Schiltz is life. Hail the Grand Duchy! Hail the Schiltz Dynasty! Hail socialism!

Cutoff may be an hour or two late today due to unforeseen familial commitments. My apologies

[South Yerfilag]

*twiddles his thumbs as bats meet balls and scores rack high*

Lol, no, not really. I just had a busy last week of school. Just one more day to hold on and embrace sweet Margaret with a tight grip...

[Frenline Delpha]

Something went wrong with my third score. Only my line appears.

Sorry about that. Thankfully, it was the third score, meaning it was the one that was still on the scorinator.

Tables and technology are not behaving today. I'm on it though.

[Chromatika]

I would like to take this time to apologize for any miscalculations, especially for all the teams that are very close. Trying to keep track of everything is definitely not easy.

You are all encouraged to check my table-keeping.

[Frenline Delpha]

Problem. For the last match-day, The Fair Republic should be 15-9.

Noted, thanks

[Frenline Delpha]

And I'm on to the Roudn of Sixteen with the worst record among first place finishers.
