World Baseball Classic 13 Signup and Host Bid Thread

Postby Qazox » Sun Sep 06, 2009 11:13 pm

Many questions are being asked about WBC13.

    Will Newmanistan join Qazox and Az-cz as 3-time champions?
    Will Taeshan finally make that championship run?
    Can the underdogs of WBC 12 (Barnettsville and Yafor II) repeat their successes of two years ago?
    Will Qazox/Zwangzug/Milchama/Tocrowkia regain its championship form?
    and most importantly, Who will host the dang thing?

The answers to the above questions, and possibly more can only be answered, if you sign-up. So what are you waiting for?

It wouldn't be a WBC without fifteen shutouts, eleven no-hitters, six perfect games, four inside-the-park home runs, three unassisted triple plays, two position players striking out the side, and one hopelessly overmatched team from Vephrall.

Please note:
a) I'm already part of a region, so I sent two puppets to Alliance of Grittonia.
b) With school coming up, an utter lack of experience, and no knowledge of a possible scorinator (is NSFootySim generally used with modifiers? I'm not sure), I think WBC 13 is a bit too soon for me to host something like this.
