Thanks for the confidence guys, looking forward to (hopefully) a good tournament. I'll make a post once I get home later this evening in the signup thread with my plans for participant numbers and the tournament start date.

Yep, go ahead.

Please excuse the following nostalgia. After I posted my roster, I realized it has been a little over five years since I first started participating in the WBC. I remember first coming to the board then and seeing the fogies who had been around "forever," and now I know what that's like. I'm old! It seems like just yesterday I was signing up for that tournament, yet if I remember what I was doing in RL five years ago, it couldn't seem farther off. In a way, the WBC has been more of a positive constant in my life than a lot of other things. I'll be forever thankful for that. But not for not having won a championship yet. Still hungry. Still probably not going to have as much time to RP as much as I need to to make that happen. Oh well. Some things never change.

This does put in perspective how spoiled some of us have been with championships. I know what you mean though, when I returned to the World Cup for the last edition, I think I remembered two or three of my great names, but all I had to do was look at old posts here, see my retired numbers list, and right away I remembered what each of those players had done.

I wish I did that with the World Baseball Classic, though maybe I just thought about my plan for this one.

Hey, maybe this year will be the year? :hug:

Finally decided to update my roster. I think it actually looks good. My only problem is that the listing of positions in the batting orders have this visual curve to them that makes it looks like a bow. But perhaps that's just me.

by **Super-Llamaland** » Wed Sep 27, 2017 1:29 pm

Wait does everyone else not update their roster every WBC?

I have literally never updated mine and RPed that the people in my nation are superstitious about changing it. XD

This is only the second time any of my players have changed in 8 editions.

I didn't do genuine major updates until like 15 editions in or so. Have been much more conscious of it the past few cycles.

Unless I'm mistaken, weren't groups supposed to be finalized yesterday? :eyebrow:

He had a "tentative" disclaimer on it.

Ah, yes, that's true.

Really interested in how these groups shake out. If they do the same way as last year, Newmanistan and Tenburg could become quite well acquainted

by **Frenline Delpha** » Fri Sep 29, 2017 10:04 am

I don't want to sound pushy, but I would ask our host to pin down an exact date where they'd be able to do the group draw. We don't want this tournament to lose momentum, and it has been two days since people were expecting the group draw to come. Again, I don't want to sounds pushy, but having a date would be the best thing moving forward.

by **Newmanistan** » Fri Sep 29, 2017 4:31 pm

Hopefully some clarity will come tonight.

I agree 100%. That is the host's responsibility.

Sorry for the wait guys. See this post for the schedule moving forward.

Thank you for this clarification.

by **Equestrian States** » Sun Oct 01, 2017 5:01 pm

The group draw has been posted, and a friendly reminder that MD1 will be Wednesday evening (EDT).

by **Equestrian States** » Wed Oct 04, 2017 8:40 pm

MD1 scores are posted and the OP has been updated with links to everyone's rosters. Let me know if you see anything that needs fixing.

Good luck, everybody!

So, hey.

Today, tomorrow and tuesday will be busy with thanksgiving and the MLP movie that I'm going to see tuesday night.

Sorry if my RP's are rushed those days, but I'm busy with stuff.
