World Baseball Classic 16 Sign-up thread

Postby Qazox » Mon Jul 12, 2010 4:25 pm

With the departure of numerous big WBC names over the past few RL months, the next WBC will be probably more wide open than ever. So that means that almost everyone has a chance to win! But to win, you'll have to sign-up first. So what are you waiting for, sign-up now.

Cotdelapoms' is trying to get its national baseball league off the ground. We've been doing extensive research into the workings of other national baseball leagues and we've been scouting players in regional junior and senior leagues across the country. We will be putting together a squad and those players will hopefully put in a decent showing at the event, which will make them more marketable as the stars of our new league.
