West Guiana Invite
Because of the lockout in the Major League Softball the MSL board of directors have decided along with the owners to host the West Guiana Invite to the worlds teams also fully knowing that softball isn't a widely played sport, they hope that this might be a semi-success.
Groups
If less than 8 nations sign up there will be only one group consisting of those 7 or less, the first goal is to get four teams (Each nation can have only one team unless other wise noted) each group would be made of groups of four just like many other internationals unless there's an uneven number of teams. There will be two groups of four for the 1st WG Invite, that will play a game a day, till we reach the playoffs.
Games
Each team will play one game each day unless we have uneven teams then there would be off days. The number of days this invite takes will depend on the number of teams that participate. Each team of the group will play each other twice.
Playoffs
The top two of each group will advance to the playoffs, unless:
* Only four teams compete then the next game the teams play will be a single game elimination, the losers would go and play of third place while the winners will go to the final.
*If 7 or less teams compete, the top four will go to a best out of three playoff system
*With 8 teams the top two of each group will advance to the playoffs:
Format:
Winner of Group A vs 2nd of Group B
Second of Group A vs Winnner of Group B
-----------------------------
the losers will play for third while the winners will play for 1st.
-------------------
