Signups for the Second Baseball World Cup, which will be hosted after the first one (http://forums3.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9610412#post9610412) ends!

I'll leave the number of teams open to An Archy, or whoever's running the second tournament.

Sarzonia would like to atone for its early performance in this World Cup and sign up for the second.

The Euroslavia Chromas will be participating in this Cup for the first time.

Yo! Da Philelfya Empiya wants ta play some baseball!, BASEBALL!!, BASEBALL!!!

You reallize that, even at the incredibly quick rate we're going now, we still have another month before this cup ends. Remember that pool play is 33 games long. You can start signups for the next tournament, but everyone should know that it's gonna be a while before it starts.
I'd like to host the next cup as well. This one should have more teams. I'm thinking I'll be able to handle a full 32 teams this time around. Also, I'll be playing in the Second NS World Cup of Baseball as well as hosting it.

Whenever this Cup begins, the Progressans will be in it.

The Wingarde Black Hawks will join the second World Cup, too. ;)

Even though it's early, I think that doing the sign-ups now is fine because it'll probably take as long a time to finish this as it will to finish the first World Cup of Baseball. I went ahead and posted a link to this on my region's offsite forum, so maybe we'll get some more Texan entrants in there.

The Steal-Basers will return for the second World Cup, but perhaps with a new team nickname.

Were in

The Reformed Expos have adapted the Paladins moniker all other NMS teams share, and will return for more spankings at the hands of others.

the milchama warriors who are doing very well right now and plan on continuing will sign up again hopefully as champions of the world cup of baseball.

Hockey Canada Red Army team enters

Add RyukyuDaitoKazanNampo the list with please.

The East Wind are in again.

Yo! I looked at dat link, an' early on dere's posts talk about "ratings"--what's dat? :confused:

Dem posts is clarifications, but dere's no esplanation from da top.

Anywhere I can read a esplanation of "ratin's"? 'Cause I'll need dat ta play.

T'anks in a'vance.

Yalaluxurios would like to participate in the Cup

Oliverry will try to find some players(are hockey players allowed to participate?) so play in this cup so yes, I'm in

I guess whoever's best so long as their hockey commitments don't get in the way ;)

As for ratings, that will be explained nearer the time, though don't worry - nearly everyone got confused in the first Cup by them! Essentially it's to determine how good your players are (within reason) - you get a set number of points for your team, and can distribute them any way you like subject to certain conditions. So if you want a team with two or three great hitters at the expense of your pitching staff, you can. If you'd rather have a well-balanced team with no real stars, you can. And so on.

Greetings! The old regime of Dr. Wily has been overthrown by Mega Man and the Revolution!

As such, Robotopolis has been renamed Megatania in honor of our Blue savoir, and we are once again entering the sports world! Seeing as how signups for the 17th Cherry Cup(Curse you, Starbladiya!) havn't begun yet, we might as well sign up here!

Team Name: Megatania Bombers

OOC: Real reason: I am dumb and left Robotopolis unattended long enough for it to be deleted, so I'm back. Hi!

In terms of IC stories for changing nation, that's up with the best of them. Welcome :)

There will be thirty-two teams, so there is plenty of room for new sign-ups.

After somehow missing the signups for the first iteration of the tournament, the Bedistan Porcupines would be happy to give it a shot the second time around.

So, what do we need to participate, rosters? team info? what?

The Sunshine Republic of Florida Oranges would like to throw their nation's name in the hat for this second World Cup.

Michael Sticklandttttt would like to ffsign up for this cup and win it please

You're going to need a roster that includes nine starting batters (DH included), with their batting order and individual ratings, as well as five starting pitchers, with their pitching rotation and individual ratings. You should also include your overall batting rating and overall pitching rating. For more on ratings and rosters click here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9494777&postcount=30).

while we appreciate the time you spent putting together your roster and don't delete it we don't need it until the second tournament starts which won't be a for awhile so you can wait until the RP thread comes up

Oh yeah, right. *embarrasment*

There are now 21 teams signed up for the tournament. We still have 11 open spots so we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible.

Perhaps would you have to announce in the thread of the football? Perhaps would you have to call persons, in order to make puppets? I am so eager! I hope that we begin soon!

I've started a discussion thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=448259) for the NSWCB. You can make ooc posts about the current tournament or the next tournament or even engage in "friendly" matches against each other. Hopefully, this will keep new participants in the next tournament involved in NSWCB matters while they wait for the current one to end.

My antipuppet, Noncitizens will sign up for the tournament. I think that gives us 22 participants. The first cup is finally coming to an end in. It will end, at the latest, on Friday November 10th. Milchama, I know you have a puppet nation, and others probably do as well. It would be great if peopled signed up with their puppets for this tournament. That would probably give us a full thirty two teams.

Eventhough my puppet will not RP. Here he is as signed up by Milchama. The Collonie Cricketers

But not until Casari signs up.

Which we do.

OK, I'll wait fer da whole esplanation later on. T'anks fer da quick ove'view. :)

Greetings to all. The Incorporated States of Novenga wish to field a national team in the upcoming World Cup, if we are not too terribly late for the qualifying rounds.

The Ministry of Sport are currently holding tryouts at their Southwestern Regional Complex in Gatesward, currently our major obstacle is that most everyone competing for a slot on the team is having to unlearn a little, or a lot of their cricketing instincts. :headbang: Most of our bowlers for example are not accustomed to throwing any style other than straight-arm.

We are aware that 27 light years stretch between Novenga and Sol-3 (if indeed that is where the tournament is to take place). We are quite serious about our desire to participate, so we are consequently trying out two sides: one of our youth players (currently aged five to eight, which should put our players at the anatomically correct age-- you might call it the "sweet spot"-- with which to crush the competition [politely] when they arrive), and a side of our regular ball players, provided of course that we solve the space-time conundra and are able to deposit our side at the right place at the right time. Our scientists assure us that they are close.

Those small issues aside, we hope to field a competitive team for the Cup, if we qualify and if you will have us. Thank you for your attention, cheerio.

To Whom It May Concern:

On behalf of the Vitalinia Premier Baseball League, we wish to register the Vitalinia National team in the World Cup.

Please fill us in on the details in how our team can qualify.

Signed,
Kered Terej
Commisioner, Vitalina Premier Baseball League

That makes 27 participating nations. We still have room for five more.

The Grand Japanese Empire had finished there baseball season with an unprecidented turnout. The Seibu Lions, almost losing there first season since 30 years ago, pulled out with a 13 - 12 victory. After light consideration, the Japanese Parliament decided to send the Seibu Lions instead of a team of combined players to the NS World Cup of Baseball. It would be the Japanese first World Cup, but most likely not there last if the turnouts were good.

Seibu Lions, incase you don't feel like reading that short little snibbity lol.

W00t!!! Now that Pyschotika has signed up for the tourny there are only four more open spaces left.

ooc: I've decided that I will not be hosting the next tournament. Also, I won't be participating either (neither will my antipuppet NonCitizens.) I really need to take a break from NS to focus on my academics. Thanks, all of you for contributing to the wonderful time I had hosting this tournament.

I'm willing to host it if you give me your spreadsheet (?)...

I'm willing to host it if you give me your spreadsheet (?)...
I didn't use a spreadsheet. I used a calculator program. I was assuming that whoever hosts the next tournament is going to come up with an entirely new scorination method, probably one more similar to the other methods used in NS sports. If you would like to make the scorination method for the next tournament essentially similar to the last one, we could discuss the algorithm I used to write the program. (If you don't know what an algorithm is, it's just a way of solving a problem.) Link #4 in my sig (especially the parts under the Batting, Pitching and Equation headings) should help provide a some basic insight into how I designed my scorination method. Also, if you have a TI graphing calculator (this applies to anyone who would like to host the tournament), I could dictate the commands of the program to you in another post, then tell you how to use the program.

couldn't you at least participate? there is no reason why you can't participate and do nothing like many of the nations last tournament.
Milchama is right. I can participate without contributing. That should help to reach a full thirty two teams for the next tournament, so my nations will remained signed up for the second NSWCB. Four more teams will still be needed to fill out the tournament, though.

Now that Crimmond, Iesus Christi, and Yurka have signed up the participating nations are as follows:

Liverpool England
Sarzonia
Euroslavia
Da Philelfya Empiya
An Archy
Kaze Progressa
Wingarde
HotRodia
Bipedal Apes
Tonissia
New Montreal States
Milchama

Bedistan

Michael Sticklandttttt
Noncitizens
Collonie
Casari
Novenga
Vitalinia
fmjphoenix
Pyschotica
Crimmond
Iesus Christi
Yurka

That makes 31 participating nations. We still have room for one more.

Indeed. The Iesus 'ICTHUS' baseball team is ready willing and able. A young, very young team....they hopefully can make up with guys what they lack in practice ability. Plus they have a snazy fish on their kits....

That gives us a full thirty-two. The tournament will start (at the latest) some time in the first half of January.
