Holodeck Baseball

[striker2550]

HBL - Holodeck Baseball League
Season 3

All new season!
All new teams!
(No AI manager shenanigans.)

Game and Season to date summaries to follow as completed.

My creation…a 30-team simulation league hosted inside the Holodeck. Each round will be played in steps with 2 teams per step. Winners move up a step, losers move down a step, while the unfortunate team that drops the tribble at Step 1 is ejected from the simulation, unceremoniously dumped from the arch, and left to the cold void of the ship’s memory purge before the dropped franchise rights are auctioned off to the highest-bidding Ferengi trader and a brand-new random team is materialized in their place.
