I forgot to mention tournaments. Tournaments rotate on a 4 year basis.

2018 Regional Tournaments: African, Asian, European, American and Oceanian tournaments. Antarctica and Southeast Asia are grouped into Oceania. Winners of these are given the “crown” for their region and automatically invited into the GBC.

2019 Invitationals: No rhyme or reason involved. Unlike the other tournaments here, invitationals are all privately funded. Depending on the reputation of the tournament, these may result in an invitation to the GBC. Actual tournaments tbd.

2020 Qualifiers/Olympics: Teams on the verge of GBC qualification play for their spot. Usually, this comes down to the worst in each pool for the last GBC but the inaugural one will involve a mixture of previous performance and the eyes test. The 12 best teams are invited to play in the olympics.

2021: Grand Baseball Classic: Either 64 or 128 [still deciding] will compete for the most prestigious prize in baseball. The finalists are automatically invited to the next olympics and the worst finishers in each pool must qualify (ties will be broken by looking at previous performance).

All tournaments will take place in the beginning of the year. I’ll adjust them after I see how the first ones go. I’m unsure about invitationals but I don’t want an empty year. Feel free to suggest something for them.
