Liventia is proud to host the finals of World Baseball Classic 63. With 42 teams signed up, teams will be put into six groups of seven teams playing each other twice at home and twice away (14 cutoffs, two games per cutoff). The top two teams per group and top two third-placed teams advance directly to the round of 16. Remaining third-placed teams will be involved in a best-of-three wildcard/play-in series at the home stadium of the higher seed.

All qualifying games will be played home/away in the group format.
The play-in round and round of 16 will be best-of-three; quarter-finals and semi-finals will be best-of-five; and championship series will be best-of-seven. Liventia will host all series from the round of 16 onwards, with the play-in round to be held entirely at the home stadium(s) of the higher seed (like in the RL MLB Wild Card). Teams reaching the last 16 will be invited to select one of Liventia's stadiums as their "home" stadium for the duration of the knockout rounds, with all their home games played there (i.e., each series will take place across two stadiums instead of one).
Rosters and RP permissions
Please post a roster: it is a basic courtesy to your opponents to do so. Teams that fail to post a roster by the time of the first scorination will receive a penalty to their scorination rank points. Please include the following RP permissions box, which explains what your opponent can and cannot do:

AI usage, withdrawal policy, and other miscellany
I will endeavour to find third-party scorinators for Liventia's preliminary round games. Where one is unable to be sourced, I reserve the option of self-scorinating. All knockout round games featuring Liventia will be third-party scorinated.
All use of AI direct text output will be prohibited (using AI to generate ideas or images etc that does not result in the final text output being AI-generated is fine). Please declare any and all use of AI.
AI translations: Allowed but only with an explanation of why an AI translation was necessary, and with the original text provided in a spoiler.
Any first-time violations of this policy will result in an immediate zeroing of all bonus. Further violations will result in removal from the tournament, with all scheduled matches (played or unplayed) being treated as walkovers.
Teams may ask to withdraw at any time, but their withdrawal will not be effected until the conclusion of the round they are currently participating in.
Please don't reserve posts (unless you're the host) or tag this thread. You may now begin RPing and rostering. The estimated group stage draw is 72 hours from now: Thursday, 1 October, at 19:00 UTC – with the hard signup cutoff at 18:00 UTC, an hour prior.
