From the first round to the quarterfinals of the 5th World Baseball Classic (WBC) scheduled to be held next month, each team will be able to request a video review only once per game.
On the 7th, the WBC Organizing Committee announced the applicable rules for this tournament, including these contents.
Compared to the 4th competition held in 2017, 6 years ago, the biggest change in regulations is video reading.
In the last tournament, only the referee requested a video review and the coaches did not have the right to request, but in this tournament, the referee’s right to request a video review was removed, and the directors were allowed to request a video review.
However, the number of requests per team is limited to one per game until the quarterfinals, and from the quarterfinals (championship round) onward, it is increased to two times.
Unlike domestic matches where up to 3 times were possible, in the WBC 1st round and 8th round, video readings could be used only once, so it became important to capture the decisive moment that would change the game flow. 바카라사이트
The WBC’s limit on the number of pitches to protect pitchers before the regular season was set at 65 pitches in the first round, 80 in the quarterfinals, and 95 in the semifinals and above, as in previous years.
In the first round, if the score difference between the two teams is 10 points or more at the end of the 7th inning and 15 points or more at the end of the 5th inning, the game ends with a called game. The match is open.
