2302 Season Pass Preseason Tournament, brought to you by Nuka-Cola and Vim!
via Press Releases
The 2302 Season Pass season will see its first pitch on Saturday, March 8, when the first four games of the preseason tournament are played in stadiums around Nuka-World. Both Nuka World League and Vim! League teams are in Nuka-World for all of the festivities with all 18 clubs splitting proceeds.
The first day's games will feature Grand Hotel vs Echo Lake at 12 PM at Quartz's Star Core Stadium at the Galactic Zone. The second game of the day there will be at 6 PM when Wild takes on Cranberry Island.
In other first day action, there will be games at 3 PM and 9 PM at Quantum's World of Refreshment Field. In the first game there, Eden Meadows will take on Quartz. In the closing game, Cherry will face Brooke's Head.
On Day 2, there will also be games split between four times in two stadiums. Games 1 and 3 of the day both happen at Cherry's Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park at 12 PM and 6 PM. The 12 PM game will be Acadia versus Victory, and the 6 PM game will be National Park versus Orange.
The other host on Day 2 is Wild's Angry Anaconda Field at Safari Adventure. At 3 PM, Rayburn Point will take on Dark, and at 9 PM, Quantum will meet Dalton Farm.
The top two seeds in the tournament, 2301 Season Pass Series participants the Grape Pained Ghouls and the Far Harbor Ghoul Whales, will ghoulishly await their first matchups on Day 3 from the Echo Lake-Grand Hotel and Quartz-Eden Meadows matchups, respectively. Grape's first game will be played at Dark's Ol' Sugartop Ballpark at Dry Rock Gulch, and the Ghoul Whales' game will be played at Victory's John-Caleb Bradberton Honorary Field.
Unlike the CBO's Nuka Cup Tournament, teams do not play a three-game series but a best of one each round in the double-elimination tournament. All teams are seeded 1-8 from their 2301 playoffs and regular season finishes accounted for. The two first-round matchups are based on position 8 of the NWL and 8-10 in the VL.
