Blaseball is a splort.

Blaseball was made known to us at the beginning of Season 1, however it is uncertain how long it has existed. Some experts speculate blaseball has always existed, half-formed in the corner of our collective vision; while others philosophize that blaseball was synthesized via humanity's darkest hour expressly to absolve us from the sins of mortal hubris by way of intrumentalizing further hubris.

All scholars agree, however, that The Commissioner is doing a great job!

Structure

Blaseball is played between two Teams, across two Leagues and follows rules similar to the ancient sport of ██████, which was outlawed in the year XX1.

The splort consists of a Season, itself composed of 99 matches across five days ("Monday" to "Friday"). Matches occur every hour between two teams and the team with the higher score is declared the winner, following ancient and arcane rituals involving blalls and blases.

Each team has a Win-Loss ratio and, at the end of the Season, the four best teams from each league move on to the postseason, which occurs every "Saturday."

Postseason is a best-of-five match series between the 8 teams. The winner is declared the same day.

The Season concludes with the annual Internet Series.

"Sunday" is known as The Slabbath and no splorts shall take place that day.

Participation

Fans of blaseball ("participants") can wager (or "bet") Blaseball Coins on whom they believe will win, during a short betting period preceding every match. If the selected team wins that match, the participant will earn back double their initial bet, plus potentially more if the selected team has an especially low probability of victory.

Throughout each Season, participants can vote in the Election to change rules by way of decrees, or the chance to secure blessings for their home team. At the end of each "Sunday," the votes are tallied and the highest voted changes are enacted, potentially altering the rules of the game permanently.

Participants can vote multiple times without limit by purchasing additional vote tickets in the Shop.
