This isnt a signup or anyhting, just a poll to see who would be interested to do a baseball world cup using NSFooty Sim to simulate the scores. (Im trying to learn how to use it)

As the unofficial, official ambassador of NS baseball. (An Archy isn't on enough to help. I just have to say we have one World Cup already (run by An Archy) and one World Cup potentially in the works (Tangled Up in Blue I believe).

Also NS Footy is just for football (soccer). Bedistan made it for that, you could try leagion but that's doesn't seem to work on as many computers.

Anyway as far as scorinators are concerned you need a scorinator for baseball that is really complicated and non-user friendly that is very statistics based because that is how baseball is. Most other sports have some stats but everyone can be pretty much equal baseball though relies on statistics, batting average, OBP, Slugging, ERA, RBI, Home Run, wins and losses, strikeouts, WHIP, there is a lot there. The way I look at it is that you need a scorinator that emcompasses these details. Oh yes and i guess that would be a no at least with that scorinator.

But N/S footy would simulate similar scores as that of a real baseball game wouldnt it? Yea i didnt think about all te fine stuff like ERA BA and WHIP. I couldnt find a baseball world cup on NSWiki so i didnt know about that.
