Sorry to bump an old thread but I'm always looking for ways to improve the BLB. We use a lot of what was mentioned here. The one big house rule we have that I haven't seen elsewhere is the World Baseball Classic. Here are the rules we use:
Quote:
Teams
Group A
USA
Mexico
Canada
Japan
Group B
Dominican Republic
Cuba
Puerto Rico
South America
How it Will Work
- In the group stages each team will play the other teams in their group twice (home and away).
- The top 2 teams from each group will face each other in a semi-final game.
- The winners of the semi-final games will face off in a 3 game WBC Championship series.
Scheduling
- The WBC will take place in even numbered years, starting the 2nd week of December.
- All competitions will happen along side our normal off-season sim schedule. It will not interrupt or slow us down in any way.
- Sim #1 - first 3 games of group stage.
- Sim #2 - next 3 games of group stage.
- Sim #3 - Semi-Finals
- Sim #4 - WBC Championship series
Rules
- 22 man initial rosters. No roster changes allowed.
- Lineup changes can be made in between each sim.
- Injuries are off.
- No DH.
- No limits on pitcher usage or pitch counts.
Management
- Each WBC team will have 2-3 BLB managers who will work together to select the rosters and lineups.
