Welcome to the 17th International Baseball Slam in Super-Llamaland and South Newlandia!
The format:
All games will be played in Super-Llamaland or South Newlandia. The group stage will be played in four groups of 6, playing a double-round robin with two games for every cut-off. The top two teams per group advance to the playoffs, a single elimination bracket.
Tiebreakers:
The tiebreakers for both group stage advancement and playoff seeding will be, in this order: Group Stage placement (only for Playoff seeding), wins, H2H results, H2H run differential, overall run differential, RP Bonus (IC coin flip), OOC coin flip. If a tie between multiple teams must be broken and one team wins the tiebreaker at any stage, while the remaining teams are still tied, the tiebreakers start at the top of the list again to break the tie between the remaining teams.

RP Information:
To get started, you probably want to post a roster to tell others about your team. A roster can be a simple list of players and positions, but you can make it as detailed as you want to. You can look at the last edition if you're looking for a bit of inspiration!
Your roster should also include a Roleplay Permissions Box to tell others what they’re allowed to do when competing against you. A typical one looks like this:
My opponent, if they RP first, may do the following:
Choose my runscorers: Yes/No
Choose my lineup: Yes/No
Follow my pitching rotation: Yes/No
Godmod scoring events: Yes/No
RP injuries to my players: Yes/No
Godmod injuries to my players: Yes/No
Eject my players: Yes/No
Godmod other events: Yes/No
Use DH at home: Yes/No
If you have any questions, please send a telegram to South Newlandia, post in the OOC Thread, or ask me on Discord, I’m always happy to help!
