2004 PC (March) Madness
● One Tournament. One champion.
● Tournament begins on March 21, 2024.
● 32 GMs compete in March Madness.
● Double elimination, seeded tournament.

GM RESPONSIBILITIES
￭ Set line-ups, set strategy.
● No draft, no contracts, no trades, no progressions.
SEEDING
● The tournament is seeded, with teams in four equally dispersed Regions.
● Seeding Method: Seeds are in flux until shortly after full PC Madness field locks in; Commish has final call on seeds.
• Seeds are determined by each GM's PC career stats and by when GM joined the tournament. Joining earlier results in a higher seed, for purely logistical reasons.
• Seeds will be finalized at least 24 hours before tip-off (first pitch).
SERIES' STRUCTURES & HOME TEAM
￭ Best of 7 series with home/away of 2/2/1/1/1.
● Higher seed is home team in all rounds.
• "Edit Team Details", all GMs can change their Park Effects to whatever they desire, any time.
THE FAIL-SAFE
● If a GM fails to set a line-up by the first pitch of the fourth game of his/her "Round of 32" series, that GM forfeits the series; the opponent will automatically advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
● "Fails to set a line-up" is strictly defined as: On a team's "Lineup" page, both "VR w/DH" and "VL w/DH" reads "NA" for all players under "POS" and the rotation and bullpen are not set in any way.
● Any move made in regard to line-up, rotation, or bullpen (including using "CPU Quick Set") qualifies as setting a line-up.
IF GM QUITS
● GM will be replaced, if possible, without altering the Seed given to the departed GM.
● If GM cannot be replaced, the scheduled opponent will receive a bye to the next round.
