After a ridiculously long delay, it is once again time for the NS World Cup of Baseball!!!!! The schedule for this tournament will be significantly shorter than the previous two NSWCBs. In this edition of the tournament, there will be sixteen teams organized into four groups. The group stage will consist of a double round robin in which each team will play each other team twice (rather than five times as in last tournament). After the group stage, there will be three knock-out stages. In the knock-out stages teams will compete in serieses of three games with the winners advancing and the losers going home until a champion is crowned in the final stage.

Signups are now open. Teams that posted RPs in the previous tournament have been automatically signed up for this one.

If I were you, I'd telegram them to inform them. We're back, too.

Az-cz would like to sign up.

Ok Now Rorysville Will Sign up for this Tourney

Dorian and Sonya would like to sign up for this competition, assuming of course that the "Powers that Be" are not so Chauvanistic as to assume females can only play softball. Our ladies can play Baseball and play it well. Hopefully they will not be the subject of discrimination in this matter.

Finally we can play some baseball! Glad to be back!

Having won nice, shiny gold medals at the NSOC Summer Games, we will cheerfully return to the World Cup.

So far we have 11 competitors:

Actually, I am putting the finishing touches on my new scorinator. In this tournament the batters will have four skills:

Average: How often the batter gets on base

Power: Affects the percentage of hits by the batter that end up as doubles or home runs

Handedness: Whether a batter is a righty, a lefty or a switch hitter

Style Modifier: Whether a batter prefers to hit against power pitchers or finesse pitchers



Pitchers will also have four skills:

Average: How often a pitcher allows a batter on base

Power: Affects the percentage of hits against a pitcher that end up as doubles or home runs

Handedness: Whether a pitcher is right or left handed

Style Modifier: Whether a pitcher prefers to pitch with power or finesse

If I were you, I'd telegram them to inform them. We're back, too.
Good idea. I'll do that.

But... but... it's physiologically impossible for women to throw over handed.
Seriously though, we've already had a few female competitors like Sarzonian 3rd baseperson Kate Schmidt.

United Transylvania will play.

Does that mean that the creation process of characters will be different than the one outlined in the sig #4?

The Eagles will play
Maybe the Delawerians too

First off, Go Cubs! Sox are overrated and are lucky to be where they are this year. Even if the Cubs do suck.

Second, You just put them with your roster. So that Dye would probably have 30 points or so.

Now that I got that out of my system, I'll go ahead and put my points in

Are my points OK?

Didn't An archy say the point system was changing? Shouldn't we wait until he posts the changes to do our points?

Cubs? SOX? Yuck! Go Astros! Hehe
Don't make me remind you of the 2005 World Series. I think that settled this question.

I haven't quite finished the new scorinator, but I'm close enough to finished to be able to post the New Rules for Rosters.

New Rules for Rosters

The new rules for rosters will be mostly the same as the old rules (see link #4 in my sig). Here is the list of changes:

1. Within individual player ratings, there will be individual skill ratings in average and power. Each player should have a rating in both of these skills. A player's rating in average plus her/his rating in power should be equal to her/his overall individual player rating. (This rule applies to both batters and pitchers.)

2. No player may be rated 0 or lower in either skill.

3. In addition to handedness, there will now be a style modifier. For pitchers the style modifier tells whether the pitcher is a power pitcher or finesse pitcher. For batters, the style modifier tells what type of pitchers the batter prefers to face. If a batter and pitcher have the same style, the batter recieves a bonus to each skill rating. If the batter and pither have different styles, the batter recieves a penalty to each skill rating. When posting your roster, simply place a (P) or (F) next to the player's handedness to indicate power or finesse. For batters, you may also choose a style modifier of (N) or Neither. If a batter has a style modifier of (N), she/he will never receive a bonus or a penalty based on style.

4. The total individual rating points allocatable among your batters will now be 9 times your overall batter rating.

5. There will no longer be a penalty to your overall batter rating for having switch hitters in your lineup.

6. You will need to assign an individual player rating as well as individual skill ratings (in average and power) to your bullpen (as a whole). Your bullpen should also have a style modifier and a handedness. (Yes, I realize how silly it is to have your entire bullpen pitching with the same style and with the same hand.) Two times the individual player rating of your average (arithmatic) starting pitcher plus the individual rating of your bullpen should equal three times your team's overall pitcher rating.

7. You may now have a four man or six man starting rotation. Also, the starting rotation will no longer be as rigid. Now, if you have a five man rotation, you may start any starter who has not started in the previous four days. (This will be three days or five days for four man and six man rotations, respectively.) This means that, if you defeat a team in two games in a knock out stage, you will be able to choose to skip the next pitcher in your rotation in favor of the pitcher that comes after her/him. (Your highest rated available pitcher will automatically start unless you specifically state otherwise.) Note that a "day" is not necessarily the same as a RL day. The word "day" refers to a day in the cup schedule. This means that you will only have the opportunity to skip a pitcher in your rotation if you win a knock out stage in two games.

8. This isn't technically a rule, but you should pay attention to it anyway. While it may seem intuitive to assign skill ratings such that each player's power rating comprises between 40% and 60% of her/his overall individual rating, it is better to assign skill ratings such that each player's power rating comprises between 10% and 40% of her/his overall individual rating. That is, instead of assigning average and power ratings in a ratio of close to 1/1 with an emphasis on power rating for power hitters, you should assign average and power ratings in a ratio of close to 3/1 with power hitters emphasizing average rating somewhat less than other hitters. This applies to both batters and (especially) pitchers. Although following this rule isn't required, if you don't you'll probably loose more games than you win. Also, I know that some players are "realism whores" who might hesitate to follow this rule because it might make the games unrealistic. This, however, is not the case. In fact, it will make the games more realistic if a majority of the teams follow this rule.

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Games will begin (hopefully) on Monday of next week.

It seems that Sarzonia has requested to be removed from the upcoming tournament.

Technically, pitchers should have ratings in average and power, not finesse and power. Think of a pitcher's rating in average as "batting average against." The power rating should be thought of as a pitcher's ability to avoid giving up extra base hits, not her/his ability to pitch with power.

Also, I assume you were going for an overall team pitcher rating of 57. Add up the ratings of your starters. Divide that number by the number of starters. Then, multiply by two. Add your bullpen rating to this number. Finally, devide by three. This should be your team's overall pitching rating.

Order w/DH:
1 Kenny Merrick 20 N 15 Ave 5 Power
2 Micheal Flinter 20 N 12 Ave 8 Power
3 Tal Gool 20 P 6 Ave 14 Power
4 Barrett Hamilton 20 P 5 Ave 15 Power

7 Matan Williams 20 N 14 Ave 6 Power
8 Ronny Bjork 14 F 6 Ave 8 Power
9 Yonatan Horowitz 11 10 Ave 1 Power

Order w/o DH, take out Williams it looks the same.

Now let's see how I screwed up.
Your batters are rated way too low. The rule changed from the previous tournaments so that your batters' individual ratings should add up to nine times your team's overall batting rating. Also, I didn't see any handedness for your batters and Yonatan Horowitz doesn't have a style modifier.

Is there still one more opening? If so I would like to sign up for this.

15 Philip Foster 59 F 39 Fin 20 Power Right
16 Manny Rodriguez 58 P 36 Fin 22 Power Left
17 Stan Romanson 58 F 38 Fin 20 Power Right
19 James Rickey 58 F 38 Power 20 Fin Left

Relievers Right F 57 38 Fin 19 Power
Your pitchers still aren't right. In your case (since you have four starters), you have 58*6= 348 points to assign to your pitchers. Allocate these points among your pitchers counting points allocated to the bullpen twice. That is, for each individual rating point you add to your bullpen, you loose two from your total. Also, your pitchers should have skill ratings in average and power, not finesse and power. As I said before, it doesn't really matter. So if you insist on calling it finesse, I'll just interpret it as average anyway.

Is there still one more opening? If so I would like to sign up for this.
Yes, there is still one more opening. Now that you have signed up, we have a full line up of 16 teams.

What the hell am i supposed to do with my pitchers? I have no idea what you are talking about?

You know what here's what I want. keep the ratios the same for all the pitchers and make Foster worth one more than the rest of the starters and make the bullpen worth 1 less than the rest of the starters. However the hell happens I don't care just make it happen. Edit it for me.

Here is the roster for Az-cz as far as scorinating goes. I think I did it ok, but let me know if I messed up. Also I might suggest trying to rethink the roster generation to be simpler next time. It's great to have all the detail, but a simple scorinator would suffice and then we could choose the style and what not in our role plays.

You know, I just read all the roster rules, and ended up hearing the teacher noise from Charlie Brown. I can't even follow it.

I agree with Casari. I read the rules and am completely lost as to what to do. A little less complicated explination would be appreciated.

Agreed. I think I got the gist of it, I just don't quite understand the point system.

Ok let me try to make this easier except for pitching which i have no idea what to do but for hitting here we go.

You get a total of 50+10 points to assign overall to your pitchers and hitters.

You can't get less than 50 for either pitching or hitting but you can have more.

Let's do an example. Team X allocated 55 points to both hitters and pitchers.

Within those are individual rankings so Team X now has 55*9 points in individual rankings to assign to all those players. The first part is overall. I actually have more than 55 but that doesn't matter for the purpose of this example.
So you can have a lineup like mine:

1 Kenny Merrick 56 N 37 Ave 19 Power Left
2 Micheal Flinter 56 N 34 Ave 22 Power Right
3 Tal Gool 56 P 30 Ave 26 Power Left
4 Barrett Hamilton 56 P 30 Ave 26 Power Right
5 Marcus Loshe 56 N 37 Ave 19 Power Right
6 Kent Monarch 56 N 40 Ave 16 Power Right
7 Matan Williams 56 N 37 Ave 19 Power Switch
8 Ronny Bjork 56 F 32 Ave 24 Power Right
9 Del Carmic 56 P 32 Ave 24 Power Left

Then within the overall individual rankings are rankings for power and average. Or how much power a player should have and how often a player should get on base.

There are also player styles which mean whether they like facing power or finesse pitchers. If your confused by that part just make them all N or neither.

There is also the handedness of the player or whether s/he bats right or left handed.

So let's dissect one player:

9=place in order Del Carmic= name 56= overall rating P= style 32 Ave= average ranking 24 Power= power ranking Left= handedness

An Archy also says that power rankings should be about 1/3 of average rankings for all players although that is not required.

So if I want overwhelming pitching I would allocate 60 points to pitching and 50 points to hitting? Then to figure out the strength of my line-up I would assign players overall points and they would have to add up to 450 and then the AVE+POW has to equal the players overall skills? Also, Finesse player essentially means a contact hitter right? Someone who will get a lot of single and doubles but doesn't have a whole lot of power. Like for example Joe Mauer, he's batting like .370 but only has.... 9 home runs?

Preliminary Line-up for West Pacific Twins
I didn't want to do this, but someone else created the White Sox and I couldn't just let that slide, especially not when they aren't even going to make the playoffs this year. Yes, I realize I need to add points for this thing, but first I need to make sure I have a clear understanding of how that works.

Preliminary Line-up for West Pacific Twins
I didn't want to do this, but someone else created the White Sox and I couldn't just let that slide, especially not when they aren't even going to make the playoffs this year.
If you want this to be realistic, will Liriano's elbow and Radke's shoulder have to be sewn on just so they remain in place?:p

err im a little confused with the new rules, what should i change on my roster? I guess its simple but im an idiot :p so...

I realize that I'm not exactly very good at explaining my rules for rosters, so I'll try again to make everything as clear as possible.

How to Create a Roster

1. Overall Ratings

When you begin to make your roster, the first thing you want to do is to give your team an overall batting rating and an overall pitching rating. You will automatically start with a rating of 50 in both batting and pitching. You will then have 10 additional points, or allocatable points, each of which can be assigned to either your overall batting rating or your overall pitching rating as you see fit.

Some teams, such as Milchama, have accumulated bonus points. Bonus points function as extra allocatable points so that, if you have 3 bonus points, you will have 13 allocatable points instead of 10. You will gain one bonus point for every tournament in which you compete. You will also gain a bonus point for every 20th RP post you contribute to the NSWCB. Bonus points are added to your total at the beginning of each tournament; so bonus points you earn in one tournament will not take affect until the next tournament.

2. Individual Batter Ratings

After giving your team an overall batting rating, you should assign individual batter ratings to each of the nine batters in your starting lineup. For each point in your overall batting rating, you will have 9 points to spread among your individual batters. For example, if you have an overall batting rating of 50, you will have 9x50=450 points, which can be assigned to your individual batters as you see fit.

In order to keep participants from unrealistically and unfairly creating top heavy lineups, there is a limit to how high an individual batter may be rated. No individual batter may have a rating of more than 30% higher than your teams overall batting rating. That means that if your team has an overall batting rating of 50, your highest rated batter must have an individual batter rating of 65 or lower.

3. Individual Pitcher Ratings

This has proven to be the most difficult part of creating a roster, so pay very close attention to this section.

After giving your team an overall pitching rating, you should assign individual pitcher ratings to each of the pitchers in your starting rotation and to your bullpen as a whole. (Yes, your bullpen as a whole will have one individual pitcher rating.) First choose how many starting pitchers you want to have in your starting rotation. You may have four, five or six pitchers in your starting rotation. The rules for assigning individual pitcher ratings change depending on how many pitchers you have in your starting rotation.

Here is the rules for assigning individual pitcher ratings is you have a four man rotation:
Each point in your team's overall pitching rating will give you 6 individual pitcher rating points. So, if you have a an overall pitching rating of 50, you will have a pool 300 individual pitcher rating points to allocate among your starting pitchers and your bullpen. This is the part that, I think, confused Milchama, as well as many other participants. For every individual rating point you assign to your bullpen, you loose 2 individual rating points from the pool. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50 (thus an individual pitcher rating pool of 300 points) and you decide to assign 55 individual pitcher rating points to your bullpen, you will have 190 individual pitcher rating points left to assign to your starters. Also, no starter may have an in individual pitcher rating of more than 25% higher than your team's overall pitching rating. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50, your highest rated starter must have an individual pitcher rating of 62.5 or lower.

Here is the rules for assigning individual pitcher ratings is you have a five man rotation:
Each point in your team's overall pitching rating will give you 7.5 individual pitcher rating points. So, if you have a an overall pitching rating of 50, you will have a pool 375 individual pitcher rating points to allocate among your starting pitchers and your bullpen. This is the part that, I think, confused Milchama, as well as many other participants. For every individual rating point you assign to your bullpen, you loose 2.5 individual rating points from the pool. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50 (thus an individual pitcher rating pool of 375 points) and you decide to assign 55 individual pitcher rating points to your bullpen, you will have 237.5 individual pitcher rating points left to assign to your starters. Also, no starter may have an in individual pitcher rating of more than 25% higher than your team's overall pitching rating. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50, your highest rated starter must have an individual pitcher rating of 62.5 or lower.

Here is the rules for assigning individual pitcher ratings is you have a six man rotation:
Each point in your team's overall pitching rating will give you 9 individual pitcher rating points. So, if you have a an overall pitching rating of 50, you will have a pool 450 individual pitcher rating points to allocate among your starting pitchers and your bullpen. This is the part that, I think, confused Milchama, as well as many other participants. For every individual rating point you assign to your bullpen, you loose 3 individual rating points from the pool. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50 (thus an individual pitcher rating pool of 450 points) and you decide to assign 55 individual pitcher rating points to your bullpen, you will have 285 individual pitcher rating points left to assign to your starters. Also, no starter may have an in individual pitcher rating of more than 25% higher than your team's overall pitching rating. So, if you have an overall pitching rating of 50, your highest rated starter must have an individual pitcher rating of 62.5 or lower.

4. Batter Skill Ratings

After you assign individual batter ratings to each of the 9 batters in your starting lineup, you should assign batter skill ratings to each starter. Batters have two different skills, average and power. Average determines how often a batter gets on base. Power determines the percentage of hits by a batter that go for extra bases and the percentage of extra base hits by a batter that go over the fence. The sum of the batter's skill rating points should be equal to her/his individual batter rating. For example, if a batter has an individual batter rating of 55 then his skill ratings in average and power can be any combination of numbers that add up to 55, such as 41 and 14. Also, every skill rating for every batter must be greater than zero.

5. Pitcher Skill Ratings

After you assign individual pitcher ratings to the members of your starting rotation and your bullpen, you should assign pitcher skill ratings to each of your starters as well as your bullpen. Pitchers have two different skills, average and power. Average determines how often a pitcher allows a batter on base. Power determines the percentage of hits against a pitcher that go for extra bases and the percentage of extra base hits against a pitcher that go over the fence. The sum of the pitcher's skill rating points should be equal to her/his individual pitcher rating. For example, if a pitcher has an individual pitcher rating of 55 then his skill ratings in average and power can be any combination of numbers that add up to 55, such as 41 and 14. Also, every skill rating for every pitcher must be greater than zero.

6. Handedness and Style Modifier

In addition to skill ratings in average and power, each player (as well as your bullben) should also be assigned a handedness and style modifier. Handedness determines whether a batter or pitcher is left handed or right handed. Pitchers may be left handed or right handed. Batters may be left handed, right handed or switch hitting. Style modifier for pitchers tells whether a pitcher throws with power or finess. Pitchers may have a style modifier of power or finesse. Style modifier for batters determines whether a batter prefers to bat against power pitchers or finesse pitchers. Batters may have a style modifier of power, finesse, or neither.

7. Other Rules

Your roster should include 9 starting batters listed in their batting order, a pitching rotation of 4, 5 or 6 starting pitchers listed in the order of their rotation, at least 3 relief pitchers, and as many as 25 players in all.

Before the beginning of the tournament, preferably when you post your roster, you may, if you desire, state that you reserve the right to RP how your team's runs were scored, if and when pitching/defensive/pinch-hitting/pinch-running switches were made by your team's manager, and any injuries to your team's players.

Note that you may RP substitutions or changes to your roster during the tournament, but these changes will have no effect on your ratings. Any roster changes should be made for RP purposes only.

The tie breakers for the round robin stage are as follows:
1. The team that won both games in which the teams competed against each other
2. The team that scored more runs in the games in which the teams competed against each other
3. The team that played fewer innings on defense in the game that they won against the other team
4. The team with a higher overall run differential
5. The team with fewer overall runs allowed
6. The team fewer overall innings played on defense
7. If the teams are still tied after the first six tie breakers, they will play one game to determine who goes to the knock out rounds.

If you have a five man rotation, you may choose to start any pitcher who has not started in the previous four days according to the tournament schedule. (This number is 3 or 5 four four man or six man rotations, respectively.) By default, I will always start your highest available starter unless you ask me to do otherwise. If you're not sure which pitchers are available to start, I'll always be willing to answer that question for you.

8. Advice

Your team will perform better if you assign about 3/4 of your available skill rating points to average and only 1/4 of your available skill rating points to power. If realism is a major concern for you, don't worry about this piece of advice causing the game to be unrealistic. If most of the participants follow this advice, the games will not become any less realistic.

Spread out your individual batter and pitcher rating points fairly evenly throughout your lineup and pitching rotation. While it may seem "cool" to have one or two guys with amazing ratings, experience shows that well rounded teams such as New Montreal States and Milchama tend to do very well.

Your bullpen should have a high individual pitcher rating. A team that uses more of its individual pitching points on its bullpen will normally have an E.R.A. equal to a team that saves most of its individual pitching points for its starters, if the game lasts 9 innings. A team's E.R.A. in extra innings, however, depends solely on the quality of its bullpen. This means that, in regular length games, you loose nearly no opportunity cost by moderately increasing your bullpen's rating; whereas in extra inning games, which are by nature very close games and thus easily influenced in one direction or the other, you can gain tremendously by having a highly rated bullpen.

If you want this to be realistic, will Liriano's elbow and Radke's shoulder have to be sewn on just so they remain in place?:p

I don't know, is Thome going to pull a hammy walking to second after hitting a ground rule double? ;)

BTW, I forget, but who is winning the season series?
Where do the White Sox and Twins play their last series?
You better hope the White Sox have a four game lead going into that series or they are S-K-R-U-D screwed!

Bump for my edit to the roster. I hope it is correct now.

I was changing the batteries in my calculator, and apparently my calculator is programmed to erase all the memory if you replace the batteries. I have no idea why they would design it like that, but nevertheless I have completely lost the scorinator. I will try to rewrite it as quickly as possible, but once again the NSWCB will have to be delayed.

Your bullpen is rated much lower than necessary. You have a pool of 348 individual pitcher rating points. Although you stated this fact correctly in the bolded section of the quote, you only assigned 290 individual pitcher rating points. Your roster will be correct if you change your bullpen rating to 59.5.

I've decided to withdraw due to RL reasons.

You know back in WCoBs 1 and 2 I never had any trouble with the roster but now after my like 12th edit I really really hope its right.

You know back in WCoBs 1 and 2 I never had any trouble with the roster but now after my like 12th edit I really really hope its right.

It's still not right. I'm not sure how esle I can explain it now. In the first two NSWCBs, you were among the first to have a proper roster. This time, it just seems that there's a wall of miscommunication. Anyway, if you want, I can just correct your roster myself. A bullpen rating of 55.5 would give make your pitchers' individual ratings correct. If you still want to try to finish your roster yourself, my advice is to assign an individual rating to your bullpen before assigning individual ratings to your starters. 348 - 2*(Bullpen Rating) will be the number of individual rating points left to allocate among your starters.

Sounds good 55.5 it is.

I've been working on NSWCB 3.0 (the new scorinator), and I realized that I could add box scores to this edition of the scorinator. I just want to check if there is any interest among the participants in adding a "Box Scorinator" to NSWCB 3.0.

If I add a Box Bcorinator, it will function as follows:

1. The Box Scorinator will output statistics for individual players. For batters, it will keep track of Walks, Hits, Doubles, Home Runs, Runs, RBI, and Errors (for fielders). For pitchers, it will keep track of Innings Pitched, Walks, Hits, Doubles, Home Runs, Earned Runs, and Strike Outs.

2. Participation in the Box Scorinator will be completely voluntarty. Any team may opt to RP player statistics manually. If a team chooses to manually RP player stats, I will not include that team's players in any box scores. I will also not include the Walks, Hits, Doubles, Home Runs, or Earned Runs for the pitchers who compete against a team that manually RPs player stats.

3. If you choose to manually RP player stats, please state your desire explicitly so that I know not to include your players in box scores.



The question is this: Do the participants in the Third NS World Cup of Baseball want a Box Scorinator added to NSWCB 3.0?

I'm in, but not for RBIs. Only hits and Homers. This way we can have a good representation of who is on the all star and I can still choose who scored when but not have to make everything up on my own.

No, I don't want that. I want to be able to choose who did what. I don't even want it telling me when I scored, but I guess I don't really have a choice on that. Basically the less info the better.

Let's see...

So far we've got two yes votes and one no vote, plus Milchama who voted yes to everything but RBI (and runs too, I assume).

No, I don't want that. I want to be able to choose who did what. I don't even want it telling me when I scored, but I guess I don't really have a choice on that. Basically the less info the better.

Remember that even if I add the Box Scorinator, you can always opt out of it on an individual basis. If you would prefer that noone use the Box Scorinator, you should vote no. I imagine (although I certainly don't want to make any assumptions as to your personal preferences) that you simply don't want me to force the Box Scorinator on you, regardless of whether other people use it. This would mean that you probably should have voted neutral/don't care. Like I said, though, I don't want to make any assumptions as to your personal preferences, so I'll continue to count your vote as a "no" unless you personally ask for it to be changed.

Actually, I can accomodate your desire with regards to not telling you when you scored. Here's how it will work: I'll send you a TG with the final score and any other information you ask for, and you'll respond with a TG telling me which innings you scored in. In order for this to work, I need you to respond as soon as possible. If you don't respond within a day, I'll have to use the line score generated by the scorinator. Otherwise, I don't see why I can't let you choose when you scored.

I'm in, but not for RBIs. Only hits and Homers. This way we can have a good representation of who is on the all star and I can still choose who scored when but not have to make everything up on my own.

If we decide to add the Box Scorinator, you'll still be able to opt out of any particular statistical catagory. So, even I normally give RBI and runs scored in the box score, you can ask that I skip those catagories for your team.

I suppose I don't have any objection if others want to use it, but why do you have to TG me? Just don't post the stats at all for my games. That's should work, shouldn't it?

Well, I am conflicted here. Normally I would jump for joy at something like this, I have always been one to go through the stats in a very in depth sort of way, however others bring up a great point in wanting to RP the outcome of the game themselves. Since this is a site dedicated to user led RP's I am going to have to cast a no vote on this issue.

Both me and my husband (ASMV) vote yes for the box scores. And neither of us feels that it will in any way detract from the RP side of things. In fact, it will simplify the basework and allow more time for creativity - ie did the batter almost strike out first? Just how close was the play at the plate? etc etc. We really like the idea.

Marion Oaks 2

You need to assign points to your starting pitchers and your line-up, if you look through the previous pages you should be able to find all the inforation you need. Especially on pages 3 and 4 where there was heavy discussion clarifying the rules.

I suppose I don't have any objection if others want to use it, but why do you have to TG me? Just don't post the stats at all for my games. That's should work, shouldn't it?

I need to TG you, because if I allow you to RP when your team scored, I absolutely need that information as quickly as possible. Otherwise, I won't have a line score to post for your team. If I scorinate your games first, then TG the final score to you before I scorinate the other games, I'll hopefully have the line-score for your team before I post the results for that day. You don't have to write a full RP. Just tell me what innings you scored in, so that I can post a line score for your team as quickly as possible. As far as the other stats, those aren't as urgent. You can just RP those whenever you want, just like everyone else.

So far, the vote stands as such:

1 No [West Pacific]
1 Neutral [Az-cz]
1 Yes for everything but RBI (and runs as well, I assume) [Milchama]
4 Yes [Rorysville; United Transylvania; Dorian and Sonya; Andossa Se Mitrin Vega]

So far, it looks like we're going to have the Box Scorinator, once I get finished rewriting NSWCB 3.0.

yes.

Yes

1 Yes for everything but RBI (and runs as well, I assume) [Milchama]
So far, it looks like we're going to have the Box Scorinator, once I get finished rewriting NSWCB 3.0.

No I would like runs but just not RBIs. I want to know who scored just not neccesarily how and by who.

I'll add my name to the yes votes.

BTW, when do you need my finalized roster?

Does it matter what your final roster looks like? I am still going to mop the floor with your face! ;)

Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention, September 30 and Oct 1 I will be in Minneapolis to watch the Twins win the Wild Card (or possibly the division.) by coming back from two games down and sweeping the White Sox. In the event the Twins ultimately win the division then the White Sox will win the Wild Card and the Twins will knock them out of the playoffs in the ALCS

Why do you need to post a scoreline at all? Why can't you just post the final score?

Why do you need to post a scoreline at all? Why can't you just post the final score?

Because the way that An Archy has been doing it for two cups is posting in what inning the runs were scored in.

It also really does not restrict your RP freedom at all, you can still choose who scores, what order, and how, the only thing is that you just have specific innings to work with, like instead of having your first run score whenever you want they just score within a certain inning.

Come on its just like your opponent RPed before you in soccer and told you when you scored. Except that the opponent in the scorinator.

I'd personally prefer it not to be there, but if everyone else wants I guess I don't have a choice. I'm looking forward to it either way, just personal preference.

Why do you need to post a scoreline at all? Why can't you just post the final score?

Like Milchama said, I've always posted scorelines. And I really can't post a scoreline for the other team and not for you. It would end up looking like this:
Starters: Jason Schmidt vs. Phillip Foster (Az-cz is the home team)
0 0 0 0 1 1 2 0 0
And Az-cz scored 3
Final Score: Milchama: 4 Az-cz: 3
That's just not right.

No I would like runs but just not RBIs. I want to know who scored just not neccesarily how and by who.
I guess my assumption was wrong then. You know, if I tell you who scored, that could potentially limit who got the RBI. For example, if your 1st batter was the only player that scored, then it's mathematically impossible for your 7th, 8th or 9th batter to have gotten the RBI. So telling you who scored indirectly limits who got the RBI.

If I manage to get this tournament running by the end of next week, it should be over before September 30. So you probably don't have to worry too much about that.

I'll add my name to the yes votes.

BTW, when do you need my finalized roster?
I used to have rules about that sort of thing... but then I stopped caring.

Seriously, you can turn in your final roster whenever you're ready. The only rule is that, if you've turned in your final roster, you can't make changes to it after your team has played its first game. Also, if you don't turn in your final roster before the beginning of the tournament, until you do turn in your final roster, your team will have a generic set of player ratings that is significantly inferior to a manually made roster. The tournament will probably begin by the end of next week, hopefully.

i dont get the rank system can someone explain it to me i looked at all the pages, so i dont understand.

i dont get the rank system can someone explain it to me i looked at all the pages, so i dont understand.
Reading all the pages might do more harm than good when you're trying to learn the ranking system, because it's possible that you'll find contradictory information. I advise that you focus specifically on the "How to Create a Roster" post (post #51 in this thread).

If you still don't understand the ranking system, don't be too concerned. Many participants have had difficulty with this new system. It's mostly my fault for being terribly bad at explaining the rules. If you want, you can just do your best at creating a roster, then have me correct any mistakes.

Anyway, I've decided to make an optional simpler way of creating rosters. In this simpler method, you only have to adjust five settings:

1. Offense/Defense
This setting adjusts whether your team is better at offense or defense. Simply choose a number between 0 and 10. 0 represents an all out defensive team, and 10 represents an all out offensive team.

2. Batters' Average/Power
This setting adjusts whether your betters focus on getting on base or hitting home runs. Simply choose a number between 0 and 10. 0 represents a team that only hits for average, and 10 represents a team that swings for the fence as much as possible.

3. Pitchers' Average/Power
This setting adjusts whether your pitchers focus on keeping batters from getting on base or keeping batters from getting extra base hits. Once again, choose a number 0 through 10. 0 represents a pitching staff that focuses purely on lowering their opponents batting average, while 10 represents a pitching staff that focuses on lowering their opponents home run total.

4. Batters' Depth/Individual Talent
This setting adjusts whether your batting order is filled with good hitters, or has a few great hitters with a compliment of mediocre batters. Again, pick a number between 0 and 10. 0 means your lineup will be perfectly balanced. 10 will lead to a lineup with led by one or two superstars.

5. Pitchers' Depth/Individual Talent
This setting adjusts whether your pitching rotation is filled with good pitchers, or has a couple great starters with a compliment of mediocre pitchers. Once more, pick a number between 0 and 10. 0 means your rotation will be perfectly balanced. 10 will lead to a rotation led mostly by one superstar.

It's mostly my fault for being terribly bad at explaining the rules

No It's your fault for making the rules too complicated in the first place. I think if A NS World Cup of Baseball III comes around you should significantly simplify things. I really don't think that much is added by telling us when we scored or who scored or what are stats are compared to what is lost in time and confusion that it takes this way. Plus that way in the future if something happens to the scorinator it won't take ages to recreate it.

It is just simple mathematics if you read everything before you try to start plugging in numbers. But it does take some time to work it out. Not everything should be completely simplistic. This system should make every team completely unique rather than simple style modifiers.

Acutally the more I think about it, the more I realize that the whole I don't want RBIs is rather stupid. Espiecially because I don't care who scores runs, so therefore I'll take everything.

Props. That looks like a very nice system. And it seems your keeping the old system as well. If you can deal with both I say cheers. Having both is very nice for us.

So, when are we starting again? :p

And I've found a possible replacement for my beloved Expos. They play in a big, white Dome. And they seem to piss off Milchama to no end. I'm sold.

For those of you who have been asking about when the tournament will start...

I'm hoping to have it started by the end of the week. Friday or Saturday probably. As far as the scorinator, right now I'm making decent progress rewriting it. To be exact, I'm working on the base advancing section of the algorithm. That's one of the last parts left to do, so hopefully I'll be finished soon.

I'm Thinking you missed a team there WP I think you missed My First Place Tigers that will still be in First place so enjoy your Wild Card0

I think I already addressed that possibility when I said (or possibly the division) but I could be wrong. All three teams appear to have hit the wall, finally, but with these next three weeks things ought to clear up quite a bit.

I actually like Oakland or the *shudder* Damnyankees chances this year, since the AL Central teams will have already gone through the meat grinder.

The Twins need more healthy pitchers. That and somehow being able to finish off a game would help. But Detroit rarely passes up a chance to choke, plus road trips to both Minny and Chitown. While the Twins have 4 at home with KC, a trip to Boston, who have destroyed all hopes of the Nation, and hopefully some quality play against Baltimore and Cleveland could bring it home. Mmmm, postseason. You are so tasty.

The Az-cz team is all about small ball. Only two batters Br-Bnd and Wl-My can be considered power hittes and only two pitchers Jason Schmidt and Juan Marichal have powerful arms. Instead they'll club you to death will singles, bunts and stolen bases, and fire you down by painting the corners and controlling the strike zone. They are also defensive powerhouses. They really specialize in details and are pefectly comfortable with any type of player. They utalize there bench greatly and in general are very technically proficient. Because of those techniques they are perfectly comfortable in close games and in situations where they need to claw for just a run or two.

The weakness of the team is definitely their ability to turn big innings. Because of there reliance on small ball and their rare use of home runs they rarely put up big numbers in one inning. In games where they put up big numbers, it's through consistency rather than bursts. The other problem is that outside of their two starting pitchers they tend to burn through the bullpen. Because they are finesse pitchers they need to use a lot more pitches to earn their outs which tends to wear the pitchers down. Also because they are less skilled they can't last as long. Those two things mean that the third and fourth pitchers wear down the bullpen much more than the first and second.

If they can overcome those two flaws Az-cz could be a dangerous team in this baseball championship.

I think I already addressed that possibility when I said (or possibly the division) but I could be wrong. All three teams appear to have hit the wall, finally, but with these next three weeks things ought to clear up quite a bit.

We'll see what happens as they Start a HUGE Serieson Thursday 4 games at Minnesota(at least it dosn't rain in the Dome as we've had two straight rain delay games and lost both thatnks to the delay)

I think This series will decide the Division and I think the Loser of this series will get the wild card the Sox are good but I think they'll collapse. If Minny can get Liriano back they could be tough to go up against. Now that the Tigers Jettisoned the Boat Anchor known as DY things should look better


I can't wait for this tourny to start should be a good one

Any word on the starting date?

I've just finished writing NSWCB 3.0. I'm actually sort of scared right now. I still need to give the new scorinator a test run and I'm not sure that it will work.

It is, by far, the largest program I've ever written. It's more than 27 times the size of NSWCB 1.0. Honestly, I'd be surprised if it didn't have any bugs. And then there's the problem of memory leakage. With certain large programs I've written in the past, I've had the problem of overloading the memory on the calculator. Since then, however, I've studied the issue of memory leakage and, hopefully, I've found the solution to that problem.

Anyway, there's only one thing left to do: give the new scorinator a test run.


Starters: Philip Foster vs. Jules Thivierge (New Montreal States is the home team)
ERROR: DATA TYPE

O.K. I'm not exactly sure why that error came up, but I've changed a couple of lines that look suspicious. Here goes attempt #2.


Starters: Philip Foster vs. Jules Thivierge (New Montreal States is the home team)
ERROR: DATA TYPE

This isn't looking good. I've changed another line that looked like it could lead to some errors. Third time's a charm:


Starters: Philip Foster vs. Jules Thivierge (New Montreal States is the home team)

Wow, this is taking a really long time. That's actually a good sign, because normally, if there's an error, it will happen relatively quickly, assuming I've fixed any potential memory leakage problems. (Knock on wood.)

Ok now it's just getting awkward... Maybe I overused "IF statements" just a little bit. But again, it's actually a good sign, beacuase even a memory leakage error would have occured by now, if it had existed. From what I can tell, there is very little chance of an error occuring at this point. (Knock on wood, again.) It just takes an absurdly long amount of time to output the score, which is o.k. as long as it gets the job done.

Gets up... makes a sandwich... and it's still going.
Turns on tv... watches cartoons...

You know what. The program is simply taking too long. At this rate, even if I run the program 24 hours a day, I still wouldn't be able to finish more than six games. For this tournament, we'll go back to the old scorinator. The rules for rosters are located in link #4 in my sig. As always, if you have any questions about the rules, don't be afraid to ask.

: Disappointed : :(

Wait a second... Let me check one more thing.




OMG!!! Sweet!!! I got it to work!!! WOOT!!! I had actually given up on it for a minute there. Then I decided to review the program one more time, and I figured everything out. It was simply a matter of forgeting to change the inning and batter-up variable in between innings and at bats as well as a technical problem involving the "rand" operation. And it runs quickly too, as quickly as 2 minutes in fact.

O.K. This is so awesome. I'm going to need to make a schedule, then an Scores/RP Thread. The tournament will begin on Monday.
