Rosters
Rosters are a list of your players and the positions they occupy. This can also include statistics, both personal and about their play, as well as their handedness, stengths and weaknesses, uniforms, nicknames, coaches, or anything else you find appropriate. Here is an example of a fairly standard roster: viewtopic.php?p=11597544#p11597544
Rosters are appreciated and will be graded as a separate RP. Rosters should include a RP permissions box (godmodding, injuries, choosing scorers, etc.) if players want to put restrictions on the roleplaying of their characters. Here is an RP box form that you should copy and paste into your roster post:
- Code: Select all
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my runscorers: Yes/No
Choose my lineup: Yes/No
Follow my pitching rotation: Yes/No
Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
Godmod injuries to my players: Yes/No
Eject my players: Yes/No
Godmod other events: Yes/No
Use DH at home: Yes/No
New to baseball RPing, or sports RPing in general?
If you're new to sports RPing in general, please read this thread, as it provides a great guide for what you need to know. If you have any questions, you can TG me or Saintland, post on the WBC Discussion Thread, or on the Sports Roleplaying Questions thread.
One thing unique to baseball is the designated hitter, a feature often confusing to newcomers. For explanation, we turn to Equestrian States' lovely concise summary:
Equestrian States wrote:The Designated Hitter (DH) Rule is an aspect that is unique to baseball here on NS Sports. In short, the DH rule allows for teams to designate a player to bat for their pitcher, generally giving teams more flexibility when at bat. For more information on the DH rule and its implementation, please refer to the Wikipedia article on the subject, as it goes into far more detail than I can here. In regards to the WBC, the DH rule is only used if the home team uses a DH. If the home team does not use a DH, neither team will use the DH, regardless of the away team’s preference. If the home team has not specified (in their roster or an RP) whether they use a DH or not, the first participant to RP will dictate the use/nonuse of the DH in that game.
