Default Re: 2021 Olympics - Men's Baseball

Are we supposed to pick the semifinal games?

I looked it up, and the four teams playing for the medals have already been determined. Game 8 is the USA vs. South Korea. Japan will play the winner of Game 8 for the gold, and the Dominican Republic will play the loser of Game 8 for the bronze.

jacka is correct and I thank him for his post.

Current standings:

RulerRound 1
jacka4
Firkinvald3
happy52143
king qaz3
HEDENSK3

Please pick the gold medal winner and as the first tiebreaker, pick the bronze medal winner and as the second tiebreaker pick the total runs to be scored in both games.

Your prediction is worth 2 points and is due by 11pm EDT today.

As jacka has already picked, our only chance is to pick Japan for the gold. I will pick Japan to win the gold and Dominican Rep to win the bronze, with a total score for both games of 14 runs.

We will not pick the semifinal games as there are too many logistic issues.

* winner of the tiebreaker

A surprising win for me. Thanks for the competition.

I am going to suggest for the next olympics that we predict entire brackets. This round by round stuff is very taxing.

Baseball won't be in the Paris Olympic program. It's expected to be back for Los Angeles in 2028, but it's not official yet. But agreed, this format was terrible.

Of all people, I lost the contest because of my MLB team's (Cardinals) former closer, Seung-hwan Oh, giving up 5 runs to the Dominican Republic in the 8th inning of the bronze medal game. Had he kept it clean, I would have had the exact total and team on the tiebreaker. Oh no!

1 slot of tech ordered for Firkinvald.
