(OOC: this just also happens to be my 3000TH post.. thus ensuring me a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame...lol)

Last time, Milchama joined Az-cz as repeat champions. Can Milchama make it a Three-peat? Will Az-cz win its 4th? Will Zwangzug finally get It's championship? Or Will some other team make history?

As you may have guessed, it is time for the 6TH WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, currently the 6th longest ACTIVE running Sports tourney in NationStates (behind the World Cup, the Cup of Harmony, the Baptism of Fire and the World Cup of Hockey/Cherry Cup, and the TOUR de Qazox)

So sign up today and participate, why don't you?

or in English to Spanish to English Babelfishese:
Sign so for above today and you participate, you do not do you?

What're the current rankings?

What're the current rankings?

Don't right know.. But I'm sure Zwangzug will post them up sooner or later.

Liventia will sign up, then, but would it be possible to take LE's rank? Officially, Liverpool England and Liventia are the same country, only renamed after a referendum, and ICly for all that is worth, 'Liventia' and 'Liverpool England' can be used interchangeably to refer to the same nation.

If I can't take LE's rank despite the ICness then sign LE up.

Fine by me.

Will Zwangzug finally get It's championship?
Its! Its! Its!

Oh, this isn't Party Propaganda headquarters?

Er, yes, of course! :D Or go out with a bang trying.

Rankings...coming. Later.

"hey look"

"what?"

"a tournament we can win, we should sign up"

"agreed"

Milchama signs up to finish up the three peat.

Sign us up.

The ladies team is raring to go. :p

The Great Theocracy of the Holy Marsh will gladly join this.

i bid to host if someone would be able to get me a scorinator

Because a Taeshan-hosted cup will definitely fail to finish (see Rugby WC), Liventia will bid to host too.

Bump

i may have to withdraw my bid to host because i am not able to find a scorinator that my internet can site and i can use uncomplicatedtly.

I...will...win.

THIS I SWEAR!

HOST BIDS 1/?
Liventia

We'll need at least 6 more sign-ups to make this tourney viable. i'm hoping for around 20 or so, but it would depend on the host, whoever it maybe.

Speaking of which, the CUTOFF for Host Bids are Sunday at 12:00am EST.

Well Cutoff time is here, an unless somwone else popsup in the next 10 minutes or so, Liventia will be the host for the 6th WBC.

It will be up to them to determine how many sign-up. <passes responsibility to Liventia>

Az-cz signs up if it's still open.

Yes, there is still space. I'm going for 16 teams, so another five will be needed.

Bump

What it says up there.

Prux will signup once again for more embarrassment on the diamond.

The Federation of Xaristan, risen from the ashes of Ambrose-Douglas, wishes to participate and bring glory once again to our nation with our fine baseball players.

(OOC: If anyone is wondering, I do have the stats from the other baseball classics I participated in and can show them on request to prove who I am)

The Indonesian States enters the World Baseball Classic for the first time, hoping that it will not drop out due to the RL world, like in all it's other sport RP's.

Detroit-Madison States will sign up.

Possibly, If the Host doesn't mind having 17 teams.

I'd like to join, if 18 teams isn't a problem.

if 19 teams is ok, Hjela-Artouusa would like to be part of it.

I guess 20 twenty teams isn't out of the question.

Signups are closed.

Milchama will get a bye. The remaining 18 teams will play in three groups of six (all in Liventia) once against each other team (5 games). The top three teams from each group and the two best fourth-placed teams will join Milchama in the second group phase (four groups of three; two matches against each other team). The group winners will qualify for the semi-finals (best-of-five) and the final will be a best-of-seven series.

I'll start the RP thread when I get back from work later.

just wondering, who won the previous baseball classics?

In Order:
WBC1, WBC2 and WBC3, Az-cz.

Only 2 champs in 5 tourneys.

I object to having 1 team get a bye.
