Baseball Season Alive
Buzz for the 2313 season has already begun across the Commonwealth as CBO teams and their affiliates, the Commonwealth Collegiate Baseball League, and the Commonwealth Youth League have all reported in preparation for the new season.
First, let's look at the 2313 Nuka Cup Tournament, won last season by the Starlight Killers. Hosts are once again the final four teams in the playoffs, ranked in order of finish and association: Fort Hagen, Vault 81, Salem, and Jamaica Plain.
In each of the regions, seeds 2-7 will play an opening series for the right to be in the final four teams of their region. Then they enter a double-elimination series tournament with the host teams playing the lowest remaining seed and then the two other winners playing each other. From there, the winners of each region goes to Diamond City where they will play in the semifinals of the 2313 Nuka Cup Tournament with the winners facing off in the finals.
Teams in order of seed per region:
Fort Hagen Regional - Fort Hagen, Oberland, The Slog, Egret, Nahant, Spectacle Island, and Lexington
Vault 81 Regional - Vault 81, Bunker Hill, Goodneighbor, Concord, Diamond City, Easy Town, and Quincy
Salem Regional - Salem, Roxbury, Nordhagen Beach, FHE, Sunshine Tidings, Southie, and Malden
Jamaica Plain Regional - Jamaica Plain, County Crossing, University Point, Starlight, Atom, Cambridge, and Glowing Sea
