<br />
==Procedure==<br />
===Scorinating===<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 15]], [[The Babbage Islands]] devised a system for broadcasting line-scores rather than the total results. (Something similar had been done in the first and second tournaments, but the [[scorinator|scorinators]] used then were much less sophisticated than later models.) Although controversial at first, line-score results eventually became a common and welcome part of the WBC.<br />
<br />
After many proposals and discussions, [[World Baseball Classic 34]], hosted in [[Saintland]], was the first tournament to use three-game series rather than individual games as the basis for group stage round robins. This format has also caught on and been frequently emulated.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There was previously a tournament called the [[World Cup of Baseball]], which ran for three editions and then fell by the wayside. The nation of [[American Fist]] proposed to host a World Baseball Classic in April 2007, but then vanished from the worldwide scene. After this, the nation of [[Qazox]] assumed hosting duties by fiat. Qazox would also take over as hosts after [[Nefundland]]'s political instability during [[World Baseball Classic 4|WBC4]].<br />
<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 13]], Tocrowkia forfeited the third-place series to Secristan, thus raising the question of whether forfeits should be permitted and to what extent they would impact the ranks.<br />
<br />
Near the conclusion of [[World Baseball Classic 17]], [[Tarrentum]] organized a "Constitutional Congress" for the purposes of codifying more rules. There was some rancor and acrimony during this era, but such is life.<br />
===World Baseball Classic Council===<br />
Future editions of the tournament were run on an ad-hoc basis; following the [[World Baseball Classic 11|eleventh edition]], the dissolution of the [[Jolt]] multiversal organization system began a new era of thriving international cooperation. It was proposed to assemble a more organized council, along the lines of the [[World Cup Committee]]. The first councilmembers were determined by a majority vote, rather than automatically including anyone who met default participation criteria like the WCC.<br />
<br />
It was not until [[World Baseball Classic 22|WBC22]] that the constitution was amended to create the position of president. [[Saugeais]] was the first nation nominated and elected to serve in that role.<br />

==Championship History==<br />
<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, results are given as total games won in a series; i.e. Team A 4-2 Team B means that Team A won a best-of-seven series in six games.<br />

==Fast Facts==<br />
The WBC 12-13 era, while it saw a flourishing of diverse teams, also saw a proliferation of [[wikipedia:no-hitter|events]] that are quite rare in other baseball competitions. Those affected have pointed out that the disparities between established and emergent baseball nations can be quite stark.<br />
<br />
Like the [[World Cup Player Hall of Fame]], the World Baseball Classic had an irregularly-maintained [[World Baseball Classic Player Hall of Fame]], with nations earning a slot for:<br />
*every five WBCs participated in,<br />
*every three WBCs advancing from the preliminary/group stage,<br />
*and every WBC title.<br />
<br />
[[Pocono City]] in [[Newmanistan]] was at one point the location of this hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Later, circa [[World Baseball 38]], the nation of [[Schiltzberg]] proposed a [[World Baseball Classic Nation Hall of Fame]] for countries with long-standing records of success. Nations are inducted to this hall of fame both automatically, based on historic success, and by election from the WBC Council.<br />
===World rankings===<br />
The ranking system used is a modified version of the [[KPB ranking system]] for football, that takes into account the last three WBCs, with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily. Because baseball does not have the "three points for a win" system, nor secondary tournaments, the range of possible values is smaller.<br />
<!--<br />
==Current rankings==<br />
As of the end of [[World Baseball Classic 49]], the top ten nations in the world are as follows:<br />
#[[Cassadaigua]] <br />
#[[Nova Anglicana]] <br />
#[[The Sherpa Empire]] <br />
#[[Banija]] <br />
#[[Newmanistan]] <br />
#[[Ko-oren]] <br />
#[[Hapilopper]] <br />
#[[Hampton Island]] <br />
#[[Free Republics]]<br />
#[[Sarzonia]]<br />

==Procedure==<br />
===Scorinating===<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 15]], [[The Babbage Islands]] devised a system for broadcasting line-scores rather than the total results. (Something similar had been done in the first and second tournaments, but the [[scorinator|scorinators]] used then were much less sophisticated than later models.) Although controversial at first, line-score results eventually became a common and welcome part of the WBC.<br />
<br />
After many proposals and discussions, [[World Baseball Classic 34]], hosted in [[Saintland]], was the first tournament to use three-game series rather than individual games as the basis for group stage round robins. This format has also caught on and been frequently emulated.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There was previously a tournament called the [[World Cup of Baseball]], which ran for three editions and then fell by the wayside. The nation of [[American Fist]] proposed to host a World Baseball Classic in April 2007, but then vanished from the worldwide scene. After this, the nation of [[Qazox]] assumed hosting duties by fiat. Qazox would also take over as hosts after [[Nefundland]]'s political instability during [[World Baseball Classic 4|WBC4]].<br />
<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 13]], Tocrowkia forfeited the third-place series to Secristan, thus raising the question of whether forfeits should be permitted and to what extent they would impact the ranks.<br />
<br />
Near the conclusion of [[World Baseball Classic 17]], [[Tarrentum]] organized a "Constitutional Congress" for the purposes of codifying more rules. There was some rancor and acrimony during this era, but such is life.<br />
===World Baseball Classic Council===<br />
Future editions of the tournament were run on an ad-hoc basis; following the [[World Baseball Classic 11|eleventh edition]], the dissolution of the [[Jolt]] multiversal organization system began a new era of thriving international cooperation. It was proposed to assemble a more organized council, along the lines of the [[World Cup Committee]]. The first councilmembers were determined by a majority vote, rather than automatically including anyone who met default participation criteria like the WCC.<br />
<br />
It was not until [[World Baseball Classic 22|WBC22]] that the constitution was amended to create the position of president. [[Saugeais]] was the first nation nominated and elected to serve in that role.<br />

==Championship History==<br />
<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, results are given as total games won in a series; i.e. Team A 4-2 Team B means that Team A won a best-of-seven series in six games.<br />

==Fast Facts==<br />
The WBC 12-13 era, while it saw a flourishing of diverse teams, also saw a proliferation of [[wikipedia:no-hitter|events]] that are quite rare in other baseball competitions. Those affected have pointed out that the disparities between established and emergent baseball nations can be quite stark.<br />
<br />
Like the [[World Cup Player Hall of Fame]], the World Baseball Classic had an irregularly-maintained [[World Baseball Classic Player Hall of Fame]], with nations earning a slot for:<br />
*every five WBCs participated in,<br />
*every three WBCs advancing from the preliminary/group stage,<br />
*and every WBC title.<br />
<br />
[[Pocono City]] in [[Newmanistan]] was at one point the location of this hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Later, circa [[World Baseball 38]], the nation of [[Schiltzberg]] proposed a [[World Baseball Classic Nation Hall of Fame]] for countries with long-standing records of success. Nations are inducted to this hall of fame both automatically, based on historic success, and by election from the WBC Council.<br />
===World rankings===<br />
The ranking system used is a modified version of the [[KPB ranking system]] for football, that takes into account the last three WBCs, with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily. Because baseball does not have the "three points for a win" system, nor secondary tournaments, the range of possible values is smaller.<br />
<!--<br />
==Current rankings==<br />
As of the end of [[World Baseball Classic 49]], the top ten nations in the world are as follows:<br />
#[[Cassadaigua]] <br />
#[[Nova Anglicana]] <br />
#[[The Sherpa Empire]] <br />
#[[Banija]] <br />
#[[Newmanistan]] <br />
#[[Ko-oren]] <br />
#[[Hapilopper]] <br />
#[[Hampton Island]] <br />
#[[Free Republics]]<br />
#[[Sarzonia]]<br />

==Procedure==<br />
===Scorinating===<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 15]], [[The Babbage Islands]] devised a system for broadcasting line-scores rather than the total results. (Something similar had been done in the first and second tournaments, but the [[scorinator|scorinators]] used then were much less sophisticated than later models.) Although controversial at first, line-score results eventually became a common and welcome part of the WBC.<br />
<br />
After many proposals and discussions, [[World Baseball Classic 34]], hosted in [[Saintland]], was the first tournament to use three-game series rather than individual games as the basis for group stage round robins. This format has also caught on and been frequently emulated.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There was previously a tournament called the [[World Cup of Baseball]], which ran for three editions and then fell by the wayside. The nation of [[American Fist]] proposed to host a World Baseball Classic in April 2007, but then vanished from the worldwide scene. After this, the nation of [[Qazox]] assumed hosting duties by fiat. Qazox would also take over as hosts after [[Nefundland]]'s political instability during [[World Baseball Classic 4|WBC4]].<br />
<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 13]], Tocrowkia forfeited the third-place series to Secristan, thus raising the question of whether forfeits should be permitted and to what extent they would impact the ranks.<br />
<br />
Near the conclusion of [[World Baseball Classic 17]], [[Tarrentum]] organized a "Constitutional Congress" for the purposes of codifying more rules. There was some rancor and acrimony during this era, but such is life.<br />
===World Baseball Classic Council===<br />
Future editions of the tournament were run on an ad-hoc basis; following the [[World Baseball Classic 11|eleventh edition]], the dissolution of the [[Jolt]] multiversal organization system began a new era of thriving international cooperation. It was proposed to assemble a more organized council, along the lines of the [[World Cup Committee]]. The first councilmembers were determined by a majority vote, rather than automatically including anyone who met default participation criteria like the WCC.<br />
<br />
It was not until [[World Baseball Classic 22|WBC22]] that the constitution was amended to create the position of president. [[Saugeais]] was the first nation nominated and elected to serve in that role.<br />

==Championship History==<br />
<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, results are given as total games won in a series; i.e. Team A 4-2 Team B means that Team A won a best-of-seven series in six games.<br />

==Fast Facts==<br />
The WBC 12-13 era, while it saw a flourishing of diverse teams, also saw a proliferation of [[wikipedia:no-hitter|events]] that are quite rare in other baseball competitions. Those affected have pointed out that the disparities between established and emergent baseball nations can be quite stark.<br />
<br />
Like the [[World Cup Player Hall of Fame]], the World Baseball Classic had an irregularly-maintained [[World Baseball Classic Player Hall of Fame]], with nations earning a slot for:<br />
*every five WBCs participated in,<br />
*every three WBCs advancing from the preliminary/group stage,<br />
*and every WBC title.<br />
<br />
[[Pocono City]] in [[Newmanistan]] was at one point the location of this hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Later, circa [[World Baseball 38]], the nation of [[Schiltzberg]] proposed a [[World Baseball Classic Nation Hall of Fame]] for countries with long-standing records of success. Nations are inducted to this hall of fame both automatically, based on historic success, and by election from the WBC Council.<br />
===World rankings===<br />
The ranking system used is a modified version of the [[KPB ranking system]] for football, that takes into account the last three WBCs, with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily. Because baseball does not have the "three points for a win" system, nor secondary tournaments, the range of possible values is smaller.<br />
<!--<br />
==Current rankings==<br />
As of the end of [[World Baseball Classic 49]], the top ten nations in the world are as follows:<br />
#[[Cassadaigua]] <br />
#[[Nova Anglicana]] <br />
#[[The Sherpa Empire]] <br />
#[[Banija]] <br />
#[[Newmanistan]] <br />
#[[Ko-oren]] <br />
#[[Hapilopper]] <br />
#[[Hampton Island]] <br />
#[[Free Republics]]<br />
#[[Sarzonia]]<br />

==Procedure==<br />
===Scorinating===<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 15]], [[The Babbage Islands]] devised a system for broadcasting line-scores rather than the total results. (Something similar had been done in the first and second tournaments, but the [[scorinator|scorinators]] used then were much less sophisticated than later models.) Although controversial at first, line-score results eventually became a common and welcome part of the WBC.<br />
<br />
After many proposals and discussions, [[World Baseball Classic 34]], hosted in [[Saintland]], was the first tournament to use three-game series rather than individual games as the basis for group stage round robins. This format has also caught on and been frequently emulated.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
There was previously a tournament called the [[World Cup of Baseball]], which ran for three editions and then fell by the wayside. The nation of [[American Fist]] proposed to host a World Baseball Classic in April 2007, but then vanished from the worldwide scene. After this, the nation of [[Qazox]] assumed hosting duties by fiat. Qazox would also take over as hosts after [[Nefundland]]'s political instability during [[World Baseball Classic 4|WBC4]].<br />
<br />
In [[World Baseball Classic 13]], Tocrowkia forfeited the third-place series to Secristan, thus raising the question of whether forfeits should be permitted and to what extent they would impact the ranks.<br />
<br />
Near the conclusion of [[World Baseball Classic 17]], [[Tarrentum]] organized a "Constitutional Congress" for the purposes of codifying more rules. There was some rancor and acrimony during this era, but such is life.<br />
===World Baseball Classic Council===<br />
Future editions of the tournament were run on an ad-hoc basis; following the [[World Baseball Classic 11|eleventh edition]], the dissolution of the [[Jolt]] multiversal organization system began a new era of thriving international cooperation. It was proposed to assemble a more organized council, along the lines of the [[World Cup Committee]]. The first councilmembers were determined by a majority vote, rather than automatically including anyone who met default participation criteria like the WCC.<br />
<br />
It was not until [[World Baseball Classic 22|WBC22]] that the constitution was amended to create the position of president. [[Saugeais]] was the first nation nominated and elected to serve in that role.<br />

<br />
Unless otherwise indicated, results are given as total games won in a series; i.e. Team A 4-2 Team B means that Team A won a best-of-seven series in six games.<br />

==Fast Facts==<br />
The WBC 12-13 era, while it saw a flourishing of diverse teams, also saw a proliferation of [[wikipedia:no-hitter|events]] that are quite rare in other baseball competitions. Those affected have pointed out that the disparities between established and emergent baseball nations can be quite stark.<br />
<br />
Like the [[World Cup Player Hall of Fame]], the World Baseball Classic had an irregularly-maintained [[World Baseball Classic Player Hall of Fame]], with nations earning a slot for:<br />
*every five WBCs participated in,<br />
*every three WBCs advancing from the preliminary/group stage,<br />
*and every WBC title.<br />
<br />
[[Pocono City]] in [[Newmanistan]] was at one point the location of this hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Later, circa [[World Baseball 38]], the nation of [[Schiltzberg]] proposed a [[World Baseball Classic Nation Hall of Fame]] for countries with long-standing records of success. Nations are inducted to this hall of fame both automatically, based on historic success, and by election from the WBC Council.<br />
===World rankings===<br />
The ranking system used is a modified version of the [[KPB ranking system]] for football, that takes into account the last three WBCs, with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily. Because baseball does not have the "three points for a win" system, nor secondary tournaments, the range of possible values is smaller.<br />
<!--<br />
==Current rankings==<br />
As of the end of [[World Baseball Classic 49]], the top ten nations in the world are as follows:<br />
#[[Cassadaigua]] <br />
#[[Nova Anglicana]] <br />
#[[The Sherpa Empire]] <br />
#[[Banija]] <br />
#[[Newmanistan]] <br />
#[[Ko-oren]] <br />
#[[Hapilopper]] <br />
#[[Hampton Island]] <br />
#[[Free Republics]]<br />
#[[Sarzonia]]<br />
