Well maybe beyond anyway.

My fourth attempt in the DR forum with one pretty successful and two aborted ones.
Anyway, as the title suggests, in my fictional universe I'm going to run a quadrennial World Cup based on the real world one and on the World Baseball Classic timeline.
My fictional universe presumes that baseball has overtook cricket in most of those countries where the latter is played. So you'll see some different countries involved. And maybe some other surprise ones in future renewals.
If I get through this one then I'll be running a similar quadrennial World Cup for women - which has fewer nations involved - at the midpoint between the male versions.

So I'm not trying to model real life at all, although the recognised baseball powers should still be at the top at least in the first few versions.

I'm not sure how to preview it so I think I'm just going to post up the ratings for you to look at and decide upon. I'll also look through the league-wide data to give predictions.

Thanks to you if you're reading this, and hopefully I'll keep it going.
Paul.
