Static Changes
As the Team Pages fully opened, it was noticed that there were some discrepancies between the listed Fall Ball falls and the teams themselves. NaN and Sixpack Dogwalker, the original two Receivers, were absent; in their place was Nathaniel Wilds and Dimi Wobbler, respectively. Both of these replacements are also now Receivers, and were previously Static Charges from the Short Circuits. Whilst not explicitly stated, both teams have the Entangled Modification (which they had received at the conclusion of Season 24), and therefore can be presumed to have been Alternated on their return from the Black Hole, revealing an as-yet-unseen (though confirmed by The Game Band in an episode of Inside A Blaseball) interaction between the two Modifications. Notably, NaN had not had the Receiver modification since Season 15, when it had been replaced with the Echo modification. Players who are Echoes do not Static when alternated, as Wyatt Mason X, an Echo, was Alternated in the Season 21 election with no other result.
Bonus Burps
Every ILB team started with 14 players - 10 of whom had fallen during Fall Ball, the other 4 seemingly randomly generated before games began. However, as games progressed, it appeared that the new weather Horizon, which every game is currently played under, had the effect of every so often having another player fall and land somewhere on the field during a game. The fallen players do not appear on team rosters, and their location is unknown. An (incomplete) list of players that fell and which team's game they fell during can be seen below.
Falling players can also, on rare occasion, hit a player on a team's active roster and knock them out of play. The fallen player will replace them on the active roster, and the hit player will go off to places unknown. A list of occurrences of this is below.
Day | Player Fallen | Player Hit | Team |
---|---|---|---|
6 | Kaj Murphy | Natha Spruce | Tokyo Lift |
12 | Carter O'connor | James Boy | Mexico City Wild Wings |
29 | Malik Destiny | Mullen Peterson | LA Unlimited Tacos |
34 | Mindy Salad | Scratch Deleuze | Houston Spies |
45 | Siobhan Chark | Chet Takahashi | Philly Pies |
50 | Badgerson Stromboli | Mcdowell Mason | Ohio Worms |

Postseason
Five teams from each Conference advance to the postseason, consisting of the four best performing teams in the Conference seeded by Wins, as well as a Wild Card team selected at random.
Teams alternate home games with the higher seed hosting first. The Wild Card games are a first-to-two series; the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals, and Internet Series are all best-of-five.
