Thursday, May 12, 2016 - Finals Games 5 & 6 (if necessary) and 3rd Place Play-Off Game 5 (if necessary)
Friday, May 13, 2016- Finals Game 7 (if necessary)
If there is no need for a day of scoring for a round, I reserve the right to bump the schedule up for a day. For example, if there are no Game 5's in all of the Round of 16, then the entire schedule will move up by one day.

Scoring and RP Bonuses:
Scorination will be done by Xkoranate, using the Saintland-adjusted NSFS formula. A roster bonus will be given that will stay for the entirety of the tournament, and RP will be graded with quality over quantity, though frequent RPs will add up over time. They will be halved after the group stage, as per usual.

If Chromatika were to move to the playoffs (not expected, as we are pretty new), I will ask a third-party to grade my RPs and scorinate.

IMPORTANT: Cut-offs will be at 4:00 PM PDT (11:00 PM UTC) unless otherwise stated a day in advance.

Tiebreakers:

The first tiebreaker will be head-to-head games, and the second will be tiebreaker games. Should three or more-way ties occur, a single round-robin will be used. Should three teams end up with a record of 1-1 each in the tiebreak matches, then run differential will be used as the next tiebreaker. If two teams remain tied after run differential, then H2H record will be used. If three teams are tied after run differential, runs for will be used. This is to avoid putting extra wear and tear on teams instead of having them play additional tiebreak matches.

Chromatika IC Info

Postby Chromatika » Fri Apr 15, 2016 12:49 pm

Chromatika


Geography

Chromatika is an island nation located north of Perlasilangan in Atlantian Oceania. The main island has Chromatik City, the Capital, at the center, and some other cities like Z'ai'ai to the north, Depri Lanar and Depri Sanar to the south, and Eyrods to the southeast. The island directly south is Myana, while the one southwest is Brisara. The island to the East of the main island is Wirr Tsi.

Climate

Chromatika is a cold nation, with one temperate jungle to the very south, the Eyrodii Jungle, which contains the city of Eyrods. Temperatures rarely go over seventy degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, while in the winter the island almost freezes over with the exception of Eyrods, with average winter temperature being twenty-eight degrees Fahrenheit.

Culture

Chromatik culture depends on what color card you were born under. The society is built on a color code system as follows:

LRd < MRd < DRd < LOr < MOr < DOr < LYl < MYl < DYl < LGr < MGr < DGr < LBl < MBl < DBl < LIn < MIn < DIn < LVi < MVi < DVi < LBz < MBz < DBz < LSi < MSi < DSi < LG < MG < DG
R < O < Y < G < B < I < V of the rainbow, and then Bronze < Silver < Gold. Red are laborers, Orange are farmers, Yellow the manufacturers, the Green the merchants. Blues, Indigo, and Violets make up the higher end of society (business, lawyers, law enforcement, etc.) while all politicians, after being sworn into office, are part of the Bronze - Silver - Gold hierarchy. The only DG of the nation is the President-Premier, although nobody calls him/her that. The official title is DG. These Color Lines are extremely strict, and it's practically unheard of of anyone of less than Blue to do anything of importance.This is the system Chromatika has been using for as long as written history has existed of the nation...

Chromatiks tend to be nice people, cordial, kind, and non-intrusive. They love talking to each other about everyday life, but there is no criticizing of the government at all to be seen. The people appear to be happy or content in life.

Customs

All foreigners entering Chromatika will be expected to go through Customs, because it will be very important for them to receive an Identification Card. All foreigners receive a Clear Identification Card, which is the equivalent of a Blue in Chromatik society. Always remember the ID Card, never lose it, because it will be what allows you to go places. It's impossible to enter any public building without identifying yourself in the nation.

Important Laws

Do not forget your ID card.
All firearms are outlawed in Chromatika unless you're a police officer or part of the military.
There are no recreational drugs allowed: no alcohol, no tobacco, no marijuana.
There is a statewide curfew at 3:00 AM. Everything closes then.
People drive at the right side of the road.

Currency

The currency of Chromatika is the NM, or the National Mark. The current conversion rate is 1.80 NM per 1.00 NSD. Everyone can go to the bank to trade money if they need to.

Transportation

There are a lot of international airports in Chromatika - the biggest of them, of course, being Chromatik City International Airport. There is a lot of public transportation, with an extensive subway system comprising of twelve different lines, a bus system that runs throughout the entire main island, and a ferry system that goes to Myana, Wirr Tsi, and Brisara.
Ballparks

Chromatik City Park

The home field for the Crossroads Crusaders of the CBL, this park has a nice view in the Chromatik City skyline, and is a pitcher's paradise, with very long outfield walls. It seats 67,232 comfortably, and is made of turf surface.

Hosts: RS1, RS5, QF1

National Stadium

The home stadium of the Chromatik National Baseball Team. An older stadium, but one that has a lot of significance to the populace. It seats 44,320, and has rather shorter walls with 312 left field, 387 center field, and 324 right field fences. The surface is made of grass.

Hosts: RS2, RS6, QF2, SF1, GF

Logger Dome

Hosts the Z'ai'ai Loggers of the Chromatik Baseball League. It's known for its long center field fence at 428 feet, along with average distance for left and right field fences at 312 and 349 feet, respectively. The stadium is a dome, meaning weather is not an issue. The surface is made of turf, and it seats 52,109.

Hosts: RS3, RS7, QF3, SF2, 3PPO

Heroes Complex

Home of the Hanai Heroes, the inaugural champions of the Chromatik Baseball League. Has average distance for all three fences - 387, 391, and 379 feet. The surface is made of grass, it seats 61,243. When the sun sets, the stadium is known for providing some glare, but it's not too much to bear.

Hosts: RS4, RS8, QF4

Baseball is Losthaven's national sport, which it supports at all levels including amateur, junior, collegiate, and major and minor professional leagues of varying skill levels across the nation! The Losthaven Majors boasts two dozen privately and publicly-owned teams, including the Grand Haven Bowsers and the Big Drink Snowriders.

Players are selected individually to participate in the WBC and other international baseball events. Selection to participate in such events is viewed as both an earned privilege and high honor. Players are selected to the team based on merit by a panel of highly regarded Majors coaches, managers, commissioners, and umpires. Though most players selected are professionals, it's not unheard of for a college player, amateur, or even junior to be selected from time to time. The panel also recommends a team manager, who must be confirmed by the Congress, as the position of team manager receives a modest state-funded stipend and the official government title of "Goodwill Ambassador." Team members are not paid to play in international tournaments, but are provided lodging, travel costs, and a reasonable per diem for food and expenses.

Notes

The players on this team previously competed, in other sports (volleyball, field hockey, basketball and weightlifting), at the Games of the VIII Olympiad and at the (abandoned) third West Guiana Softball tournament. These are, however, their real names as the group now openly identifies themselves following their legalization as a political party within the new Sanctii electoral system.

Feminisvs Sanctvsterra has competed in international sports events before, winning several medals at the Games of the VIII Olympiad and competing in the 11th Handball World Cup. However, they have had their greatest success in the World Korfball Classic, where they have won 2 out of 4 WKCs, with a third place in their only other attempt. In World Cup 67, they almost qualified for the World Cup, despite having little to no experience in competitive soccer before they entered that World Cup, after the official Saintland National Team boycotted qualifying over the results of a host vote. Due to the circumstances under which members of the organization have lived, the Feministvs Sanctvsterra Baseball Team has remarkably high levels of team chemistry. They lived their lives on the run from the authorities for several years, so members of Feministvs Sanctvsterra are deeply loyal to one another and to their organization. This loyalty translates into team-oriented play, with an emphasis on pitching, defense and small ball. They previously participated in WBCs 29 and 30, with middling records in both tournaments. In WBC 34, they returned after a long absence and reached the Round of 16 where they were eliminated by the Bat Slaves of Gregoryisgodistan. In WBC 35, they would manage a third place finish, the best to that point for any Sanctii team in the WBC.

Feministvs Sanctvsterra is now part of the ruling coalition in Saintland along with the pro-reform moderates of Futurum. They enter this WBC hoping to improve on their third place finish last time. Due to their strong performance last time, Feministvs Sanctvsterra has elected to leave this team unchanged, delaying the introduction of a mixed gender team for at least one more cycle.

Although the Feministvs Sanctsterra Baseball Team does not include any male players, the idea that Feministvs Sanctvsterra is all female is a common misconception. Around 10 percent of the group's membership is male, mostly comprised of brothers of the group's members.

RP Permissions

I give my opponent permission to:
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my runscorers: Yes (but don't do anything that would be impossible under the rules of the sport)

Follow my pitching rotation: Yes
Godmod scoring events: Yes
RP injuries to my players: No
Godmod injuries to my players: No
Eject my players: No
Godmod other events: Yes (The Feministvs Sanctvsterra team should be portrayed in a manner consistent with their established characters and their high level of team chemistry. Feel free to portray them as anti-gay as this is consistent with their established characters.)
Use DH at home: No

Gregoryisgodistan Bat Slaves

#4 2B Shirtmaker 9DHUAS (Bats Right/Throws Right Age 26)
#14 1B Chauffeur JJIASDES (L/R Age 31)
#3 LF Soldier JSIAISKS (L/R Age 32)
#33 C Enemy Crusher Bobby Furgles (R/R Age 26) - strikes out a lot, but when he hits it, it's going a long way; he is also very poor defensively and may be replaced late in games if we are winning.
#18 DH Barber LIEUIUSH (S/R Age 28)
#41 RF Lumberjack JSUUSI99387 (R/R Age 29)
#13 3B Grammar Enforcement Officer CUPSI19291 (R/R, Age 23)
#21 CF Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal (L/L Age 28)
#2 SS Cow Herder BYD1727 (R/R, Age 20)


If there is no DH and a right-hander is pitching against Gregoryisgodistan, move Barber LIEUIUSH to right field and bench Lumberjack JSUUSI99387. If there is no DH and a left-hander is pitching against Gregoryisgodistan, move Barber LIEUIUSH to right field, move Lumberjack JSUUSI99387 to center field, and bench Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal. Either way, move everyone else up one and bat the pitcher ninth.

Additionally, center fielder Executioner 9D8AH announced his retirement to become the fielding coach, a newly created position. Prune Farmer IKEALUKA9 will replace him on the roster, but will sit on the bench for now with Navy SuperAdmiral Kurt DeathToSanJoseGuayabal being inserted into the lineup.

Stadium:

Due to the destruction of Lord Almighty Gregory Baseball Stadium by Wolfopian terrorists (OOC: actually a Gregoryisgodistani false flag), all home games will be played at Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark, formerly known as Covello Field, located in District 27, about half a mile from Covello Bay. It was renamed prior to the IBS to honor former pitching coach and pitcher Pervert Chaser NAUSJW who was arrested in New Wolfopolis during the World Baseball Classic for performing his job, castrating and dickapitating Mount Tamobet players competing in the nude. He is currently in Wolfopian prison. The arrest of Pervert Chaser NAUSJW led to Gregoryisgodistan adding New Wolfopolis to the Enemy List, which according to the Gregoryisgodistani government was the impetus for the terrorist attack.

Pervert Chaser NAUSJW Ballpark seats 4,000 fans. Beyond the fence is a small patch of woods. Beyond that are some luxury houses, and beyond that is Covello Bay and the District 27 Marina, where the wealthy dock their personal yachts. The marina also has space for foreign ships to dock. It can hold fairly large ships. Ships with capacities up to 50 people should be able to dock there, possibly more if they are small enough. The marina area is off limits to Gregoryisgodistani commoners, who will be executed if they trespass, but foreigners do not need to worry about that provided they have their papers. Teams can either fly into Lord Almighty Gregory National Airport in the Capital District and travel approximately 600 miles by bus or travel by boat, dock at the marina, and rent a bus to drive about a mile to the stadium. (Walking from the marina is also possible.) Teams traveling by boat should inform the Gregoryisgodistani government as soon as possible so that customs can meet them there and space can be made for their boat. Please include the number of people traveling with you.

RP:

Choose my Lineup No - follow what was posted.
Choose my Runscorers Yes
RP Injuries Yes, one per game.
Godmod Injuries Yes, but note the above restriction.
Follow my Rotation: Yes
Eject my players: Yes, one per game unless you eject a commensurate number of yours. For instance, you can eject three of my players if you eject two of yours. This includes coaches, who can be ejected but count towards the limit. An exception is that you can eject both my manager and my pitcher for throwing at a batter after a warning (as the rules say should happen) and this counts as one ejection.
Godmod other events: Yes, do anything except kill Lord Almighty Gregory, our head of state and official deity. Failed assassinations and fake assassinations using prop heads are fine. However, expect reciprocation. If you kill one of my players, that's fine, but I'm going to kill one of yours. If you don't TG me first to ask which one I'd be ok with killing, I won't TG you first, I'll just kill one, though if you kill a bench player I would kill one of your bench players, not a starter. I will do this WITHOUT CHECKING YOUR RP PERMISSIONS because it is far too complicated to figure out whether we'd both be in violation of each other's RP permissions or whether you made an exception, meaning we're both fine.
Other: If you do an RP involving my country, but do not mention it by name ("Gregoryisgodistan" without any formatting in the middle of the word such as striking "isgod" to make Gregoryisgodistan) TG me to give me a heads up. You do not need to wait for permission, and there is a chance I won't bother to reply. I frequently search for mentions of my nation so I can reply to RP's, but if you don't mention it by name, I can't do that. If for whatever IC reason you refer to my country by some other name (Gregoryisgodistan, Gregoryistan, Gregoryisnotgodistan, "that country with a name so blasphemous I cannot speak it" etc.) that is fine but either mention my country by name in an OOC note or TG me.
Use DH at home: Yes. But we're using official MLB rules, not international rules, so if you have a starting pitcher who is a good hitter, you may bat him instead of a DH, but then you lose your right to a DH for the remainder of the game even if you go to the bullpen. It also means if you move your DH to the field, you have you bat the pitcher for the remainder of the game. Normally, he would bat in the spot of the player who was replaced, but you could always do a double switch. He has to bat somewhere though.
Gregoryisgodistan, population 75,000,000. All citizens are required to worship Lord Almighty Gregory, our head of state, as a deity.

Base Corps (Drawkland's Epic Failure)

Postby Drawkland » Fri Apr 15, 2016 7:45 pm

DRAWKLAND NATIONAL BASEBALL TEAM

Name: Base Corps
Colors: Black with Red trim
Denonyms: Drawkian
2ND World Baseball Classic
Stadium: Hydrogen Cyanide Field, Drawk City
Capacity: 50,000
Image
Manager: Angus Lockie
Head Coach: Ronan Finn
Assistant Coaching Staff:
[AC] Giovanni Daly
[H] Wallace Nestor
[F] Pedro Dennadi
[P] Bryson Crispin


The Base Corps' home field has been designated as Hydrogen Cyanide Field, a ballpark housing a massive 50,000. It's nestled in the middle of Drawk City, near the Sports Quarter of the city around the Drawkland River. The field is regularly used by the Drawk City Scouts, but in the offseason it's used by the Base Corps and as a stage for events.
Drawk City being Drawkland's most massive, sprawling city of many millions, travel can get congested, but there are lots of options for travelers. For teams, buses can be used, and there are several charter/private bus companies who are welcoming visiting teams. Traveling by airship is the favorable option for those wanting to see a big slice of Drawkian culture, traveling in the city. The lower left corner of the photo seen above is actually a semi-large dock for boats, which teams can travel in if they feel like it.
Getting to the city also heralds several options. Drawk City has a space port for those from non-Sonnelian regions, and an airport for more "local" travels (say if a team went to a space port with cheaper rates and flew into Drawk City by plane). Travel by boat is possible, but it's all river travel, so the source port will have to be from somewhere else on the Drawkland River or on the coastlines.

Drawkland is quite a cultural and tourism-minded nation, so teams and fans will have much fun in the city before and after the games. A notable item is the very widespread usage of music. Not only can music be heard through the streets, but in all sports games, including baseball, pep bands are a common if not a necessary feature of every game. Playing during gameplay is accepted, so visiting teams may have to take this into account. When on the road, however, the Drawkian pep bands following the Base Corps is more polite and will only play between innings. Drum cadences are crowd favorites.

A quirk about the Drawkians is that they generally train players of the same position to achieve the same level of batting skill and technique. This way, they never have to alter the lineup, they simply sub in the new player in the same position. Therefore, the lineup is based on position and not names. If both the Starter and the Bench player of a position are out for the game, the available DH will fill both their lineup position and field position (DH's are trained for basic skill across the field in Drawkland).
BASE CORPS
LINEUP WITH DH
1) Shortstop
2) First Base
3) Catcher
4) Designated Hitter
5) Second Base
6) Third Base
7) Center Field
8) Left Field
9) Right Field
LINEUP WITHOUT DH
1) Shortstop
2) First Base
3) Center Field
4) Catcher
5) Third Base
6) Second Base
7) Left Field
8) Right Field
9) Pitcher

The Drawkians follow a strict pitching rotation. The pitchers are listed here as Starter/Mid Relief/Set Up/Closer. Inning distribution would generally be 1-3/4-6/7-8/9(-10). Deviation from this pattern is highly unlikely, unless a pitcher is injured before the 7th inning. In that case, #49 Manfredi, or #56 Luigi (the Long Relief) would be subbed in until the 7th, no matter the amount of innings they would have to pitch.
BASE CORPS
PITCHING ROTATION
1) Meadows/Cutsod/Frank/Durante
2) Foss/Donahue/Kirby/Jenkins
3) Renato/Sault/Arthurson/Roth


My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my runscorers: Yes.
Choose my lineup: My lineup is as specified above. You may use that.
Follow my pitching rotation: Use the rotation of pitchers I've specified for the game.
Godmod scoring events: Yes.
RP injuries to my players: Yes, as long as it's not career-ending.
Godmod injuries to my players: Yes, as long as it's not career-ending.
Eject my players: Yes, only one per game and a duration of a game.
Godmod other events: As long as it doesn't destroy my nation or my organization, I'm fine with anything.
Use DH at home: Yes.
As far as permissions go, as long as it doesn't totally wreck me, I don't mind, and in fact, you don't even have to TG (unless you're starting some diplomatic drama or something). I like surprises.

After an extremely underwhelming show last edition (the Base Corps' debut, 2 wins overall), they're looking to make a name for themselves ... or at least, live down the reputation from last year as the designated group punching bag. As the Drawkian year is long, the same squad from last edition is returning, hopefully to clear their names.

HERE COME THE TIGERS: WBC36 ROSTER


The Tigers began at the twenty-third World Baseball Classic, held in Qazox, not looking to do that well. To their surprise, they performed quite well after all, winning six and losing a mere four to place third, only behind co-debutants Maklohi Vai on tiebreakers. This pattern of "really quite well, but not quite well enough" continued under manager Thomas Yaft, as a 5-5 record and fourth-place finish in Lycrabon at WBC 24 and a 5-5 record and third-place finish by virtue of the second tiebreaker, H2H RD, which put them behind Skeckoa by three runs and led to minor controversy in Equestrian States for WBC 25.

They finally broke through at Cassadaigua for WBC 26, with a last-day victory Allinlia giving them a 6-4 record and sealing their path through to the Promised Land of the playoffs for the first time in their now twelve-year history. But against the Phoenixes of Equestrian States, they stood no chance, as the Equestrians swept them out of the Round of 24 two games to none.

After this, the nation founded the International Baseball Slam, but at IBS I and II, they found only middling success, placing fourth and sixth in a field of eight nations.

At WBC 27, they bested the same Phoenixes to go six and two in Maklohi Vai and Saintland and clinched a spot in the Round of 16 thanks to their superior victory. But Kriegersen swept them out of the tournament, and going into WBC 28 with a fourteenth-place ranking, they still had not won more than six games in a tournament or won a playoff match. At IBS III, this troubling trend continued as Nova Anglicana swept them out of the quarterfinals despite their 5-1 record propelling the Tigers to the number-one seed.

After a 6-4 record in the WBC 28, the Tigers went through a difficult bracket to defeat Maklohi Vai, Vaugania, Nova Anglicana, and the Royal Barangay in thirteen games and found themselves world champions and world number-two. While many cried "fluke", especially after they failed to advance out of the group stage at IBS IV, they continued to charge through the playoffs of the WBC, this time beating Feministvs Sanctvsterra, Ko-oren, and Cassadaigua, all good teams, before playing The Royal Barangay with revenge, the world number-one ranking, the world crown, and for the Tigers, a chance to become the fourth team to defend their crown. The Royal Barangay took the series lead twice, but each time the Tigers responded to force a deciding Game Five.

They lost, the bullpen, so reliable during the playoffs, imploding and conceding just enough runs for the Indios to wrest away the world championship. But at IBS V, Imota beat three-time champions Gregoryisgodistan in the quarterfinals, and the Tigers took advantage of the power vacuum to, after beating Nova Anglicana again in the semifinals, defeat newcomers Orennana in the championship series to take the IBS title. And after winning the bid to co-host WBC 30 with New Wolfopolis, they once again took back the WBC crown after defeating Jeckland three games to one in the finals. But after a dynamo group stage at the IBS VI, they proceeded to royally screw up their playoff pool, falling to Mammoreck and then being knocked out via a 15-2 thrashing at the hands of Imota.

And then they won thirty-nine games in a row and swept Jeckland to take WBC 31. Despite a mediocre showing at the IBS, dynastic brilliance lead Imotan sportswriters to declare it the "Age of the Llama". Whereupon the Tigers crashed out in the group stages of WBC32 and was forced to rest WBC33.

After WBC33 was skipped entirely and most of the disappointing team taken out, the LBF decided to re-enter the nation's beloved Tigers back into the run. At WBC34, the underdog Tigers, featuring a new-look, younger core complete with refreshed uniforms, managed a semifinal showing, although the WBC35 was cut sadly short by The Great Pond, somehow. The all-time record for most WBCs won is still just one tournament away...


JERSEYS! "Home" "Away"

The Tigers continue to use the popular blue-and-gold jerseys as their default style. The newest addition features three-colored trim and changed numbering. They’ll likely wear the home jersey the majority of the time in the knockout stages, if they make it.

At WBC34, the rarely-used away jerseys were green-and-white. Attempting to make more of a statement when the team actually wore the alternates, the new aways are designed to make a statement, with light blue lettering on a black shirt and sharp orange-white trim. This remains the official alternate uniform for WBC36.

Jarred BERGENSON-ECKERT, #34, 29, OF
2022 season: .300/.335/.396, 3 HR, 26 RBI, 30 SB
Bergenson-Eckert, the first pick of the 2016 draft (and the last of three consecutive first-pick outfielders - Ericsson, center-fielder Jason Fernandez, and Bergenson-Eckert - is known for blazing speed, immense range, and an underrated arm. Eckert's swing is one intended to produce lots of slow choppers and ground-ball singles, but good reflexes help him immensely, and he's able to recognize and adapt to pitches very well, although he is a bit of a free-swinger and a wrist injury hasn’t helped. This makes him a very useful role player, and one who should be getting chances to contribute, even if just as a pinch-runner.

Stefan DANILO, #07, 30, SS-3B, S/R
2022 season: .298/.370/.512, 29 HR, 86 RBI, 13 SB
Danilo is a great, error-free defender at third base, a very good one at shortstop, and a decent one in the outfield (or even, once, at first). This versatility and defensive prowess couple with decent power from the left side. Can be counted on to spell Xander Fiers at short and make a start or two in the outfield, all while contributing well-rounded, powerful hitting. Hits a disproportionate number of triples.

Owen DUFFY, #35, 31, OF, L/R
2018 season: .266/.333/.475, 25 HR, 80 RBI, 13 SB
Absolutely stunning defensively, Duffy regularly reaches over the wall to snag would-be home runs: known for saving huge amounts of runs and showing little sign of decline, he's a fan favorite for the powerhouse New Llama Cyclones with his huge range and strong arm. Offensively, he’s very good on the base-paths, if not quick, and has grown into a bit of power.

Tanya ERICSSON, #26, 29, OF, R/R
2022 season: .275/.319/.500, 34 HR, 100 RBI, 20 SB
Made the first overall draft pick in 2014, Ericsson's high-effort play has won many fans amongst old-school baseball viewers, and her underrated defense and high value have won the sabermetric community over as well. A true five-tool player, but possibly a bit of a hacker and somebody who a more finesse-y pitcher could outmaneuver.

Blair EVERETT, #45, 28, DH-OF-1B, R/R
2022 season: .269/.355/.520, 37 HR, 110 RBI, 0 SB
A few years ago, the New Llama Cyclones faced an important decision with a crowded outfield/first-base picture: which of two top prospects, Everett or Immanuel Rosenblum, to trade? Everett was kept while Rosenblum was sent to Kyrinson, and the slugger has repaid the Cyclones’ faith in her. Everett, known for intense video study, is great at controlling the zone and can square up almost any pitch. Her defense is passable, but with Ericsson, Fernandez, and Duffy all platinum-gloved, they really only need her bat.

Jason FERNANDEZ, #20, 26, OF, L/R
2022 season: .312/.378/.495, 15 HR, 77 RBI, 18 SB
A defensive wizard with lots of doubles power. Not too much plate discipline, but tends not to strike out due to great contact skills. Expected to man center field, but offensive underperformance could undermine that.

Xander FIERS, #1, 29, SS, R/R
2022 season: .317/.360/.428, 10 HR, 56 RBI, 33 SB
Fiers was once a slick-fielding and toolsy shortstop prospect with a 70 hit grade and questionable maturity. Now, he's a perennial MVP candidate. One of the best fielders in the league, and his hitting is strong as well, although injuries to his left wrist has sapped both power and potential to go the other way. He's primarily a doubles hitter to left-center now, but he can still make contact and beat out throws, keeping his average nice and high. There's some air of wasted potential, a possible generation player now just very good - arguably, he won’t be able to hold down the shortstop position. Fans tend to assuage those pains by watching him field, where he remains a generational talent.

Albert FORD, #18, 30, C, R/R
2018 season: .312/.400/.433, 11 HR, 77 RBI, 15 SB
Ford is a smart player who can do the little things and stretch his talent as far as he can. Take, for instance, his good instincts on the basepaths leading to a slow-footed catcher stealing fifteen bases last season - that's hardly a new experience for Ford, who stole 18 in the year before. Slow bat speed is a big mark against him, and against some fireballers he just can't keep up, but this he combats with dedicated video study and analysis of scouting reports, knowing when the fastball will come so he can lay it off or cheat on it. Ford is one of the best catchers in the game defensively, though, with good blocking and pitch-calling (coming from still more preparation). With the emergence of Sofia Rasmussen, he may be reduced to a backup, although his lefty-mashing skills will help him gain playing time.

Michael HIGGS-NOVAK, #14, 29, 3B-2B, S/R
2022 season: .330/.395/.502, 22 HR, 95 RBI, 29 SB
An undrafted free agent out of high school, Higgs-Novak was picked up after bouncing around the minor leagues before Nandaozhou gave him a shot after six years in the minors. He delivered in his rookie year as first a bench piece and then an unexpected starter, hitting .286/.350/.471 with 18 stolen bases in ninety-six appearances, and he took a huge step forwards in 2018. Higgs-Novak has power to both gaps and can hit very well and with power to the opposite field, and he's very quick. His batting stroke is a line-drive swing with little arc, and he rarely strikes out. His defense is exceptional and he's a lifelong student of the game.

Maddie POLANCO, #23, 30, 1B, L/L
2022 season: .315/.402/.488, 20 HR, 81 RBI, 25 SB
You wouldn't expect to have a star first baseman be quick on the basepaths, good at racking up doubles, and a fantastic defender who's able to scoop anything out of the dirt. At least, not anywhere else in the world. But Maddie Polanco is exactly that, and although she doesn't hit home runs like the star first basemen of other teams, she's a fantastic player and has won the MVP before, all with unimpressive HR totals.

Sofia RASMUSSEN, #05, 23, C, R/R
2022 season: .330/.404/.502, 18 HR, 56 RBI, 12 SB
Rasmussen, the third overall draft pick, made her debut in June of last season, and instantly took the entire nation by storm, batting .426 with five home runs in her first full month in the league. While her bat cooled down towards the end of the season, she’s still a very good contact hitter who can control the zone and spray the ball to all fields, and she did show quite a bit of power last season. Defensively, she’s known for her strong and precise throwing arm and solid game-calling, but lacks finesse at the more subtle aspects, such as pitch-framing and blocking.

Michael WAN, #29, 28, UTIL, S/R
2022 season: .289/.341/.425, 10 HR, 62 RBI, 15 SB
A fan favorite for every team he’s played for (his trade to New Llama Wizards represented the fifth time he’d switched teams in his seven-year career), Wan is absurdly versatile - in fact, early in his career, he dabbled with adding pitcher to the list of positions he played (while it worked out, don’t expect him to do the same in the WBC when he tops out at 84). A quick, rangy defender across the field with good routes in the outfield and very few mistakes, Wan also possesses a solid, if unspectacular, bat and good instincts on the basepaths.


The Tigers' versatility may leave you confused. Don't worry - a depth chart has been prepared below!

LF: Ericsson - Everett - Duffy - Fernandez - Wan - Danilo
CF: Fernandez - Duffy - Ericsson - Wan
RF: Duffy - Ericsson - Everett - Fernandez - Wan - Danilo
3B: Danilo - Higgs-Novak - Wan
SS: Fiers - Wan - Danilo
2B: Higgs-Novak - Danilo - Wan - Fiers
1B: Polanco - Everett - Ford - Wan
C: Rasmussen - Ford


note: the Tigers will experiment with starting rotations, likely playing all five for the first fifteen matches, but switch to a four-person rotation (likely demoting LeRoux to long relief) after the halfway point of the group stage.

Justin ZHENG, #13, 25, R
2022 season: 22-5, 2.40 ERA, 230 IP, 225 K/69 BB
Zheng, born in the poorer Llamanean region of Nandaozhou, is the rare pitcher who is both a fireballer and a student of the game. His fastball hit 101 mph when he was a reliever (as a starter, and one who prides himself on leading the league in innings pitched every season, he averages 96), but he accompanies it with a number of decent breaking pitches - a curve, a sinker, and a changeup - and his legendary 93-mph shuuto, dubbed longdexuanzhuan by fans of the Nandaozhou Sharks, is enough to overpower almost any hitter.

Angeline ROMERO, #40, 27, L
2022 season: 15-5, 2.29 ERA, 129 IP, 170 K/23 BB
Romero is a five-pitch pitcher with three dominant offerings and impeccable command whose pitch selection is geared towards efficiency (better to get a quick ground-ball out than waste six pitches to get a strikeout). Her fastball itself isn't much, flat and topping out at ninety-one. Neither is the eephus, which still tends to hang more often and probably won't be used except as a gimmick. But three dominant breaking pitches - the shootball, cutter, and splitter, all around the same mid-80s speed, all with devastating movement in different directions - will ensure a parade of whiffs and weak contact.

Kyle HOGAN, #25, 31, R
2022 season: 18-8, 3.00 ERA, 195 IP, 228 K/72 BB
A mid-90s fastball with some movement and a very hard low-90s cutter make Hogan unhittable, and he has a reputation as a hard-working, competitive ace for the New Llama Wizards, famously never missing a start for his first eight seasons. His mid-80s slider tends to hang out in the middle of the plate too often, and his low-80s changeup is a change of pace without much movement or command. Although Hogan is a little mistake-prone, with questionably consistent command, he loves going up, in, and especially up-and-in.

Ryan LEWICKI, #43, 27, R
2022 season: 16-8, 2.75 ERA, 180 IP, 165 K/50 BB
Lewicki’s team, City of Dinschria hasn’t had a “true” in the past five years since national-team starter Josva Reynolds retired. Lewicki’s breakout last season after years of ERAs that hovered around 3.75 and seasons characterized by inconsistency, changed that. Lewicki’s fastball isn’t necessarily fast, but it’s a strikeout pitch and immensely overpowering - top out at 94 it may, but its combination of rise and spin make it difficult to hit with authority. He backs the pitch up with a two-seam fastball that looks identical coming out of his hand, as well as a harder changeup that leaves hitters off balance. Lewicki’s high BABIP last season, despite being the pitch-to-weak-contact pitcher he is, indicates that he’s capable of better seasons than his 2022 all-star campaign.

Emma LeROUX, #64, 38, L
2022 season: 16-9, 3.15 ERA, 176 IP, 140 K/55 BB
LeRoux always was inconsistent. However, a few years ago, being traded to South Falls helped her become a master because of both her command and her previously-mercurial breaking pitches - her first season with South Falls, she posted a sub-3 ERA and threw a perfect game. While she did miss part of 2020 due to arm injuries, she’s still going strong at thirty-eight. While her fastball, never particularly fast, tops out at 91, she features a polished curveball that’s faster and tighter than usual, as well as a slider she’s willing to go to in any occasion and a decent, if unspectacular, sinker.


A note: these are their recommended roles, but most of these are elite Llamanean relievers and can fill other roles pretty well. In the Llamanean baseball leagues, roles tend to be flexible. The closer usually isn't the best pitcher - that'd be the fireman. Think Dellin Betances or 2014 Wade Davis - not the closer, but better than them.

Long: James RHODIERE, #70, 35
2022 season: 12-5, 1.97 ERA, 102 IP, 78 K/33 BB
Frankly a bit of an odd selection, South Falls’ long-reliever-turned-All-Star Rhodiere doesn’t have much of a pedigree: his 1.97 ERA last season was half of any other ERA he’d ever posted during a season in which he pitched more than thirty innings in the LBL. Still, after his breakout last season, maybe the management team saw something in him. Rhodiere’s primary weapon is a high-80s sinker that gets ground balls, if not strikeouts. He can pair it with an utterly unremarkable changeup that, nevertheless, can steal the occasional strike. After a decade of playing around with breaking balls, he’s mastered a third pitch, a hard cutter, that when paired with the sinker, can make him unhittable.

LOOGY: Justin KNUTSEN, #20, 36
2022 season: 3-0, 1.12 ERA, 50 IP, 49 K/11 BB
Justin Knutsen is an enigma. Why so? The answer is simple - he's a right-handed LOOGY. Knutsen's unique breaking ball, a bit of a sinker-slider combination in terms of movement deemed the "Knut" and created by Knutsen during third grade, has the ideal spin to get lefties out, and he's been using the mid-80s pitch as his only decent offering. While hitters have started to adapt to Knutsen (who didn't make the majors until he was 30), he seems to be a decent choice for the WBC considering his odd style - not even most LBL hitters have figured him out, and he closed briefly last season, earning twelve saves, for Ruby Falls - at the age of thirty-six.

Left-Handed Middle: Annalise SAUCEDO, #55, 31
2018 season: 3-3, 2.57 ERA, 65 IP, 60 K/22 BB
Saucedo used to be a middling fastball-slider reliever with a flat 93-mph main offering and a decent slider, if one that she often slipped up on. Her career changed, though, when she mastered a changeup that looked identical to her fastball, but was easily 15 mph slower. With the new offering, Saucedo can easily keep hitters off balance and without timing, mixing in a slider every so often. She has very good command, although she can try to get too fine on the edges of the strike zone.

Right-Handed Setup: Max SZENNES, #54, 25
2022 season: 3-2, 2.07 ERA, 59 IP, 50 K/22 BB
Szennes, while a fast thrower, isn’t particularly special - he tops out at 96 and hovers around 93-94 mph. However, a devastating slider, which is slower than most (at 85-ish) but with a ton of horizontal movement, makes him a dominant reliever.

Right-Handed Setup: Ryan O'REILLY, #57, 29
2022 season: 3-3, 2.55 ERA, 59 IP, 50 K/11 BB
Ryan O'Reilly is a archetypal sinking fastball pitcher who throws the sinker almost 85% of the time. The sinker itself tops out at around 94 but dives down and in, and O'Reilly can change grips at will to tinker with the pitch's movement and velocity, making him difficult to adapt to despite only having one real pitch. Early in his career, O'Reilly was an unsuccessful starter when mixing in a curve and fastball more often, so he's become a one-pitch reliever and had success in the role.

Left-Handed Setup: Hanna VALENTIN, #43, 29
2022 season: 1-3, 2.43 ERA, 50 IP, 52 K/27 BB
Valentin, who has spent time pitching abroad in two other nations, has perfected a very good two-seam fastball (which she throws at ninety-seven) and a decent slurve, which she uses to keep hitters off balance. The secret to hitting off of her is to either be good at hitting 97-mph, inwards-breaking fastballs, or to just wait for the slurve - of course, both are easier said than done. A third strategy, of course, is just to let her walk you- although she's known for being reliable in the clutch, she didn’t do as well at the past WBC as expected.

Closer: Adam LI, #29, 32
2022 Season: 6-2, 2.20 ERA, 67 IP, 80 K/18 BB
Adam Li is a bullpen flamethrower, but one with very good control. His fastball, which both sinks and cuts just enough to be a nuisance, ranges from 95 to 97 miles per hour, and he also has a very good curveball with tight spin and good downwards movement. After dabbling with a few other unsuccessful pitches, he's moved back to the fastball-curve combination, with solid effects. Dominant and reliable.

Fireman: Troy VASQUEZ, #50, 31
2022 season: 5-0, 1.17 ERA, 50 IP, 88 K/18 BB
The star of every bullpen he’s in, Vasquez is one of the most dominant relievers Super-Llamaland has ever seen - in his first 500 career innings, he struck out 761 batters. A flat, 96-mph fastball pairs with both a 90-mph shuuto, referred to as a shootball or xuanzhuan in Llamanea (breaking hard one way) and a 88-mph cutter (breaking hard the other way), both dominant breaking pitches, making him virtually unhittable. If that weren't enough, he's also managed to perfect a changeup, destroying hitters' sense of movement and timing. A true elite, and one that will be heavily leaned on.

Yes, Alex Cameron, Tigers superstar throughout six-classics and all-time home runs leader, is the manager. After his playing days ended, retiring after the Tigers' championship run to WBC 28, he took to managing quickly. Moving quickly up the minor-league ladder, he soon secured jobs at Ruby Falls, and after guiding the team to decency when they only deserved mediocrity, was fired after a disastrous start to his seventh season, the team going 13-29 to start things off on the wrong foot. After that, he joined his old team, Apple Valley, for a few decent years before new club South Falls, in anticipation of their creation, hired him to take the team's young players to the next level - and he's delivered, leading the team all the way to the finals of the President's Cup. He’s done decently enough with the Tigers so far, but with his contract expiring after WBC36, any underperformance could lose him his job.

The others are all some of the best coaches around the nation - leaders and innovators, every last one, in their own way. Special notice was given to clubhouse chemistry. Only a few minor changes have been made - aging Nick Horry’s retirement has led to the installation of Kevin Neillson and Cameron’s famous sidekick Jeff Mueller in his place. Jed Rothschild simply didn’t click with the rest of the clubhouse and has been unceremoniously sacked, replaced with the more amiable Wilson Valdez.

Series 1: #20 Losthaven @ #7 Frenline Delpha

*Anacondas look to take fire out of the Lamps in the opening series of the 36th WBC


The Frenline Delpha Anacondas have finally made their name known in the International baseball scene, and they have no plans to stop yet. Lead by manager Tristen Smalls, in his fourth World Baseball Classic as manager, the Anacondas will bo looking towards leaving a larger mark than they did last time. According to Smalls, "Our boys are ready to take this tournament by storm. Our coaches have been training them day after day, working on skills and fundamentals. We hope to keep our games close, and we don't plan on giving up, even if times look tough. Expect great things from this squad."

Last World Baseball Classic, the Anacondas starte dout dominating all their opponents, going an impressive 6-0. As the team headed bakc home to face off against international allies Schiltzberg, you could feel the enrgy crackle and buzz, as the Anaocndas had the lead in their group. It wasn't to last. The Anacondas went on to drop two of the next thre games, and they fell to secobd place with a nice 7-2 record. In their next series, the Anacondas had to go up against the San Lleran squad. They took two of the three games, but they were still stuck in seocnd place, as Schiltzberg swept their series. With a 9-3 record, the Anacondas looked safetly into the playoffs. However, they still had one series to go through, and that proved disasterous. The Anacondas dropped two games, dropping the Anacondas to a 10-5 record. Fortunately, this was more than enough to get the Anaocndas into te playoffs, giving them the eighth seed.

The first round went swimmingly, with the Anaocndas blitzing the Serbs in two straight games to advance to the quarter-finals. The would play the winner of the Nova Anglicana-Jeckland series. Since the Lions had moved out of group stage with the best overall record, no one was giving Jeckland a chance at winning. They turned out to be right for the forst game, but victories aren't won on paper. Jeckland managed to come all the way back from one game down to sweep the highest seeeded team off the map. This meant that the Anacondas would be facing a team that had needed a play-in game to qualify for the round of 16. Of coruse, Jeckland proved they were not one to be taken lightly as they pulled a complete sweep of the Anacodnas, dropping them from contention. Jeckland would go on to finish fourth.

The Anacondas are hoping not to drop so early this time, and they are looking to avenge their loss last time. Their journey starts with a very familiar face in the form of Losthaven. The Lamps were also the Anacondas first opponents in the 35th WBC. Both teams will be looking for blood, so expect intense games in Marden Arena. That given, let's look at both line-ups:

Losthaven

1. Weston Kinney
2. Porfirio Andaluz
3. Merlin Giron
4. Arlen Rasmussen
5. Rigoberto Mendoza
6. Titus Milner
7. Jarrett Minnick
8. Olen Chapman
9. Pitcher

Frenline Delpha

1) #10 Lain 2B
2) #22 Dredge 1B
3) #3 Haman C
4) #32 Manteis LF
5) #20 Trifort SS
6) #13 Jehosez RF
7) #18 Defelt 3B
8) #9 Hector CF
9) Pitcher


The pitching battles look like this:
Game 1: Demetrius Forsyth (Losthaven) vs. Stacey Turnhill (Frenline Delpha)
Game 2: Shad Lemke (Losthaven) vs. Nicolas Yelfin (Frenline Delpha)
Game 3: Del Worthington (Losthaven) vs. Omar Wilfskin (Frenline Delpha)

We wish the Anacondas best of luck in their journey to bring the WBC trophy to Frenline Delpha.
I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.

Cosumar National Baseball Team
WBC 36 Chromatika


Roster and Information



Basic Team Information

Nation - The Fiefdom of Cosumar
Demonym - Cosumarite
Region - Atlantian Oceania
Official Colors - Royal Blue, White, Navy, Silver
Domestic League - Professional Baseball League of Cosumar ("PBL")
History - This is Cosumar's 21st WBC. Though the Dragons are experienced at this competition, they have never been particularly successful. Our ranking of 6th is our highest ever, however, despite going out in the Round of 16 last time.
Style Modifier - -2.5



Stadia

Primary Stadium - Orangi Field (Indoor, Capacity 55.000)

Sponsored by Cosumar's most popular carbonated beverage "Orangi Flavored Sodas", Orangi Field is an enormous indoor baseball complex in Holmenkollen, a suburb of capital city Ramusok. In pleasant weather, the dome's roof will be open, welcoming that beloved sunny-day baseball game feel. However, in the event of precipitation, the roof can be closed as seen below. Orangi Field was constructed prior to Cosumar's WBC 18 campaign. It has been selected to once again serve as the Dragons' primary home field for the 35th World Baseball Classic.

Secondary Stadium - Royal Park (Outdoor, Capacity 41.000)

Royal Park is a beautiful old-fashioned field that serves as the home field for our most famous domestic team, the Ramusok Royals. Although not as high-tech as Orangi Field, Royal Park is legendary because of its rich history. It is known as Royal Park not just because of the team name of its tennant, but also because it is just right down the road from the Royal Palace. King James II himself is often sighted here for games. From the natural green grass to the cheap food, 59-year-old Royal Park offers the classic ballgame experience. Decades worth of tradition and amazing moments of Cosumarite baseball. It will serve as an alternate to Orangi Field in case of emergency, and our FIRST home game is always played here due to tradition.

Uniform

Image

The uniform of Cosumar Baseball, as always, consists of a navy shirt with silver sleeves and pants. The hat is also navy, with a silver C in the center. The socks are silver with a blue stripe. The number will go in the top right corner of the front of the shirt and in the center on the back. The player's last name will be placed on the back, arched over the number.



Coaching Staff

Manager - Toby MacHart

This will be MacHart's fourth WBC in charge, after replacing 87-year-old longtime manager Don Clintson after WBC 31. MacHart, 65, is much younger than his predecessor, but still offers a bevy of experience in the game. He was a PBL superstar as a player until a knee injury cut short his legacy at age 29. After a few failed comebacks were stalled by nagging knee issues, MacHart decided to go into coaching since he couldn't play anymore. At 32, he became the youngest PBL manager in history with expansion team Olask Bulldogs. After a long and successful tenure at Olask, he departed to become a baseball broadcast specialist for CSBN for many years. He made his grand return to coaching to assist Clintson in WBC 31 as an assistant. Clintson's stroke just before WBC 32 thrust MacHart into his first managerial position in over a decade, but he thrived right away. The players love him and draw from his energy and confidence.

First Base Coach - Rodney Bellums

Bellums was a college star and a former #1 draft pick. After a few seasons in the PBL it was clear he was a huge bust, not cut out for the big leagues. After being downgraded to the minor leagues and disappointing even at that level, Bellums bitterly decided he was done with baseball. He tried an assortment of projects including starting businesses but none were successful. After many years he decided to go back to the game he loved - but this time as a coach. He started out with small positions for small teams but eventually worked his way up to become to First Base Coach of the National Team. 59 years old.

Third Base Coach - Louis Copenhaver

Copenhaver is much different than his fellow coaches. He was never really much of a baseball player. He just loved to watch his hometown team - the Ramusok Royals. His enthusiasm for the Royals earned him the spot of "Bat Boy" at age 13. He stuck with the job for 5 or 6 years and was mentored in the finer points of the game by Don Clintson himself. When their opening for Base Running Coach came up a few years later, Copenhaver was persistent and gave them no choice but to hire him. After awhile he continued to move up in the organization. Last year was his tenth season as the Royals' third base coach and is in the running to fill the vacancy that just opened up at Manager. When Don Clintson left the Royals to be the National Team manager, who better to be the third base coach than his protégée Copenhaver? Clintson is now gone, but Copenhaver has earned the respect of all the other players and coaches with his brilliant baseball mind and friendly demeanor. He is currently 43 years old.

THE GRAND DUCHY OF SCHILTZBERG

History:
Baseball has always been the national sport of Schiltzberg, but baseball fans were majorly dependent on foreign leagues to sooth their baseball pleasures for the early decades. Several baseball leagues cropped up in Schiltzberg in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but none of them survived for very long because they were not able to compete with the much more established leagues in other countries, and the primary reason for that was lack of funding. The most successful of these leagues were the Schiltzberg League (SL), which lasted from 1901 to 1909; the Professional League of Baseball in Schiltzberg (PLBS), which lasted from 1951 to 1968; and the Schiltzbergian Baseball Association (SBA), which was started in 1969, but folded due to lack of funding in 1997.

Grand Duke Lucas I, an avid baseball fan as he was, was intrigued by the collapse of the SBA, and wished to create a new, more dominant league in Schiltzberg to compete with the foreign powers. In 1999 he had stadiums built in nineteen cities throughout Schiltzberg, and he chartered a team to each of the cities, and two to the national capital of New Schiltzbierg, to make up what he called the National Baseball League of Schiltzberg (NBLS). The first game was between the New Schiltzbierg Grand Dukes and the New Schiltzbierg Prime Ministers on March 31, 2000, in Royal Dome, which they shared at that time. The Prime Ministers won that game 7-3. For more information on the NBLS, check out this link: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=350763

Now, returning as the number one seed and the defending champions, Schiltzberg has a lot of pressure on for WBC 36, but experts expect that they will do well, as their team is as good as ever. Schiltzberg politically is still recovering from the Great Revolution that resulted in the restoration of the Schiltz Dynasty, but if anything, this just brings more patriotism to the table, as all Schiltzbergers are united by baseball. Grand Duke Lucas IV has announced plans to attend every game, and jokingly stated, "I already have my seat reserved for the championship games." Schiltzberg will be wearing new uniforms that reflect the colors of the post-revolution flag, and the uniforms will bear the crest of the Schiltz Dynasty on the left-hand shoulder with the motto "Deum Super Omnia" beneath it.


Starting Lineup: (Position, Name, Bats/Throws, Qualities)
SS Mark Daly (S/R, Great batting average, good fielder, good base-runner)

C Jeff Bumgarter (R/R, second backup catcher, averaged hitter)

Starting Rotation: (Handedness, name, ERA, qualities)

The Grand Duchy of Schiltzberg offers the tournament use of Royal Dome, home of the New Schiltzbierg Grand Dukes of the NBLS, which is owned and paid for by the taxpaying citizens of New Schiltzbierg. The elegant stadium is the only stadium in the NBLS to have a fixed roof, but the elegant stadium is dubbed as "unique" rather than "outdated" for this feature. The stadium was built as Schiltzberg Stadium in 1978, and was host to several teams until it was bought by the NBLS when it was founded in 2000. The name was changed to Royal Dome in 2000. The New Schiltzbierg Grand Dukes have played at Royal Dome since 2000, and the New Schiltzbierg Prime Ministers (now the Presidents) also played there from 2000 to 2012.

Lilly Inokuchi-Song, poetry grad-student at the College Institute of Grand Haven University Academy, seeks to describe Losthaven's WBC #36 experience through Haikus in three verses:

Oh glorious spring:
Herald of bat, glove, and a
New Baseball Classic;

Come now the mighty
Snakes of grand Freline Delpha,
To test our fresh start.

But be not opposed;
Forsyth, Shad, and Worthington
Will see us past them!

OOC: A Haiku is a short poem containing a 5 syllable phrase, followed by a 7 syllable phrase, followed by a 5 syllable phrase. A Haiku in three verses has three of these 5-7-5 stanzas. If you believe my Haiku contains an error, please do not hesitate to TG me!

Team Mapletish for World Baseball Classic 36

TEAM MAPLETISH FOR THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC XXXVI
Nation Name: The Mapletia Unida of Mapletish
Demonym: Maplish/Mapletian
Team Nickname: The Lions/ The Dragons
The Supporters: The Fierykop

HOME STADIUM
Rosfield Ball Park - 56,000

The Buio'Dzz
Before every match, the team members (including the designated substitutes for the match) will perform a traditional ritual, called the Buio'Dzz on the pitch just before play begins. This is one of the many tribe war dance from the aboriginals of Mapletish, meant to awe their opponents, this is similar to the [RL] New Zealanders' haka before their matches. This would be performed unless the hosts of the match in question object to the ritual.

Notes
Due to the Mapletish Major League Baseball Committee's reluctance to release players for the WBC 36, the Mapletish Sports Federation has decided to send multi-sports athlete team, Illudna Warriors to the Classic as a stand in team for the Maplish national baseball team. Illudna Warriors has never stepped foot on the multiverse sporting stage before and will use the WBC 36 as a platform to showcase their sporting prowess. In future multiverse competitions and tournaments, both the Illudna Warriors and the national sports team may play a series of matches or games to determine the representative for Mapletish. Good team chemistry and high levels of versatility, the team however lack specialisation due to their diverse knowledge.

STAFF
Head Coach: Corwin George, 50
Patient, calm, knowledgeable and resilient is what defines a coach who has to take on a team of multi-sports athletes, each athlete from different backgrounds and forming a team that will click is certainly not easy but George is up to task as his patient and knowledge help athletes develop to their fullest potential. Even for a professional athlete, George believes in the "Beginner Mindset", a keen developmental philosophy that he follows and has worked well through his coaching career. His first appearance in a multiverse competition will see whether or not he has the necessary skills to take on the multiverse sports scene and that first step will be taken at the World Baseball Classic 36.

Pitching Coach: Theo Quinten, 46

My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my Runscorers: YES - check the roster at the end of each RP. (e.g. If we play in a DH situation, the pitcher obviously cannot score.)
Godmod Scoring Events: YES
Choose my Lineup: NO - check the roster at the end of each RP.
Choose my Pitching Rotation: NO - I will select the pitcher rotation. (Also see below.***) TG me if you’re not sure who will face you.
RP Injuries to my Players: YES - however, ***you may not injure a pitcher in any way or cause a major injury to any other player unless you TG me first! (Usually I will accept injury offers, but let me know first!)
Godmod Injuries to my Players: Yes - See above.
Eject my Players: YES - you may eject up to one (1) player (including a pitcher) and one (1) staff member per game. If you TG me first, you may eject one (1) additional player, unless s/he is pitching that game. (Especially if s/he is relief for an ejected pitcher!) If you RP a bench-clearing fight, TG me so that we can work out who the RSY manager will recall to the bench (substitution players only).
Godmod Other Events: YES - except TG me for extremes such as extreme weather, curfew, light failure, or killing players. No staff may be killed. Only one (1) player may be killed for the duration of the tournament.

When we are the home team, we play using the MLB DH rule.
(a) You may designate one (1) player to be all-time hitter. (position 0)
(b) You may elect to have the pitcher bat, but you forfeit the right to have a DH for that game.
(c) You may send the DH to the field, but (1) the pitcher must then bat, and (2) you may not select another DH for the game.
