2022 World Games will counts as World Championships

Ooh, Softball tournament is going to be top class. I guess I’ll have to make a few visits to that venue if I get my accreditation.

So the 2021 World Baseball Classic is postponed? Or World Softball Championships? (which I have zero knowledge of) :p

 

so far, it's only the Softball activity...

 

but I fear that also the next WBC would eventually be moved to 2022, as the Baseball Olympic qualifiers (both the Panamerican tournament and the Global "last chance" tournament) have to be rescheduled for early Spring 2021...

 

 

p.s. the new KBO (South Korean pro baseball league) season starts tomorrow (all 5 scheduled games should start at 7 a.m. CET)...

all the games of the season are available for free on Twitch.tv (search for KBO channel on that platform)...;)

NPB, the Japanese top tier Professional Baseball League(s) is/are starting in less than half a hour...:cheer:

for schedule, results and stats, this is the official website of NPB:

 

https://npb.jp/eng/

 

and here some thoughts/previews about the upcoming season (all credits to the Japan Times):

 

Central League

Pacific League

a couple of places (paid service only, sorry, but there's no chance to get it for free) where to watch Japanese Baseball:

 

http://www.isakuraiptv.com/ (with the 96 channel lineup, you're sure to get all the games from the start to to the end of the season, Japan Series included)

 

https://tv.pacificleague.jp/ptv/pc/ (this is only a partial way to follow NPB, as it's the official OTT service of the Pacific League only...and of course it doesn't include the Central League games -both RS and PO- nor the Japan Series)...

    • If run one has a fall on the third hit and run two on the fourth hit, it's very much still in need of scoring both runs to see which one scores best. In terms of the overall, finishing 7th or 8th definitely makes a difference.   The only time a second run might not be scored is if run one was entirely clean (or at least didn't have a fall) and run two did have a fall.
    • Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that     Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.
    • I actually think the WDSF did a reasonably good job running the Olympic event (like whatever people think of breaking, the actual breaking competition was well run).   But there is definitively a lot of incompetence when it comes to how that federation runs breaking in general. Which is why I think you see most athletes not engage with WDSF events outside of when they had to qualify for the Olympics.

    • those who say that in the future, due to global warming and lack of snow, all sports at the Winter Olympics will have to be held indoors. Do you even think about what you are talking about? The FIS Cross-Country World Cup distances are 20 km skiathlon and 50 km mass start. Is there even a facility in the world that can host 20 and 50 km races? Is it possible? Well, let's imagine that such a facility was built somewhere in Paris and Monaco. Les Rousses spent so much money on building the tracks and infrastructure and then kicked it out of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup because Paris and Monaco, which have more money came to the FIS Cross-Country World Cup. Places like Les Rousses would simply go bankrupt trying to popularize the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, do we really need that?
    • Any word about TV Coverage?  Discovery has the five senior races as normal, but no sign of the age group races.  Locked away on Belgian payTV?
    • Ah good, was wondering what the relationship of Endurance Rowing was to Coastal Rowing.  They're wimping out a bit holding it at Genoa though, would prefer somewhere a bit more storm-tossed.  
    • This was pretty fun to watch  Coverage was fine, racing was fun, no problem at all.
    • Thanks @phelps for gathering information   but World Skate is an Olympic federation now, yet they can't provide a basic result system for their main event.    OK I'm not asking for a live score system, but how hard it is to post results in PDF after each event ?    not talking about the sport but this IF doesn't deserve to be in the Olympics.
