Republica, Free Republics
Welcome to Republica, Free Republics for the 3rd edition of the World Softball Classic. 10 teams have entered this tournament and have been drawn into 2 groups of 5. This is the place to post your roster and RPs and is also the place where I will be posting results. If you are not participating in the tournament (i.e. are not listed in the group draw below), you should not post in this thread. Purely OOC posts should be posted in the OOC Thread (formerly the signup thread) but OOC notes are allowed in an RP or roster post.
This tournament will be scorinated with Baseinator 1.1, which supports style modifiers between -5 and +5 (including all decimal numbers in that range). Per NS Sports custom, negative style mods indicate a team built around pitching and defense while positive style mods indicate a team built around hitting. Baseinator also supports park factors but they will be set to 100 (neutral) for the duration of this tournament.
