VBBF Games
By Blue Reilly | June 6, 2008
Gentlemen, now that the Vintage Base Ball Federation has announced their tournament schedule, it’s probably a good idea that we make a decision on whether to count those games in the NEVB standings. I know that there are some weird rules in that tournament, but here’s how I see it:
- Any reasonable opportunity to count games between league members is good because it helps to ensure that each club plays enough games to qualify for the championship.
- As I understand it, the only major rule difference in the VBBF games is the foul-bound carryover from the 1860s. As ridiculous as that is, I don’t think it’s going to greatly alter the outcome of the games or give anyone an unfair advantage.
- We have six clubs playing in this tournament. That’s pretty significant.
I suggest that the games be counted toward NEVB standings. Obviously I’m only talking about the games between league members. Each club should weigh in on this before we make a decision. Post your comments here.
-Blue
