The reading for Season 15 was titled FROM THE BRIDGE, DOWNSTREAM. In a surprise, the Season 14 champions, the Canada Moist Talkers, were drawn first, corresponding to V The Heirophant. Second was XIII, belonging to the Kansas City Breath Mints, who received the modification Middling for the remainder of Season 15. Finally, III The Empress was drawn for a second week in a row, corresponding to the Boston Flowers. The Flowers received the modification Afterparty, set on a weekly duration.

The Renovations available in Season 15 were mostly previously known, with a few new renovations. The notable renovation this season was Secret Base, which adds a secret base behind the second base. When a player arrives at the second base, they have a chance to enter the Secret Base, where they will remain even through the end of the inning. They will emerge later (while also, at times, simultaneously being at bat and in the secret base) to continue running the bases from second base.

Several Ballparks also added the Renovation Grind Rail, which allows a player a chance to steal third base while standing at first. When a player takes this chance, the Game Log will describe the skateboard tricks attempted by the player, assign each trick a score, and then the player will either fail their trick, successfully steal third base, or get tagged Out.

Further Disappearances

In Season 15, York Silk and Chorby Soul were resurrected following their incinerations in Season 14 and Season 3, respectively. As with previously resurrected players, these two players had a Debt modification. Unlike Jaylen Hotdogfingers, however, Silk and Soul did not inflict Unstable on their opponents. Instead, they marked their opponents with Observed, a modification last seen during the Coffee Cup, an exhibition tournament run between Season 11 and Season 12. Observed lasted until the end of the in-game week, or every nine games.

Once Silk or Soul marked opponents with Observed and those players played during games with Coffee 2 weather or Coffee 3s weather, there was a possibility that those Observed players would disappear from their team's rosters, receiving the modification Redacted. It is speculated that Observed players can be redacted in Coffee weather (as distinct from Coffee 2 and Coffee 3s), but no such instance occurred in Season 15.

The players Redacted via this method in Season 15 include Wyatt Glover, Ren Hunter, Peanut Holloway, Liquid Friend, Chorby Short, Forrest Best, and Alx Keming.

Ongoing Decrees

• Eat The Rich (Season 3): Funds from the top 1% of coin-havers will be redistributed to the remainder of Fans at the end of the postseason. This decree will remain in effect indefinitely.
• Enhanced Party Time (Season 6): When a team is in Party Time -- mathematically eliminated from the postseason -- they'll have a chance of receiving random permanent stat boosts during their games.
• Wild Cards (Season 8): Every Season, a random team from each Subleague will leave Party Time to become the 5th Playoff team. A first-to-two-wins Wild Card series will happen on Fridays.
• Based Evolution (Season 12): Every Third Championship a Team wins will cause the Team and its Players to Evolve. Players that round the phylogenic Bases will get to go Home.
• Free Wills (Season 13): Teams that finish in the Bottom 4 of the League will receive an extra Will in that Season's Election.
