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 β24), 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 β15, 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 β21 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 this season was played under, had the effect of players falling and landing somewhere on the field during games. 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 enter the Shadows. A list of occurrences of this is below.

RECOMMEND DEEP ANALYSIS
Universal Bets and Influence
Starting with Day 24, and repeating each real-world 24 hours, a new boon was granted. This boon, referred to as "Universal Bets and Influence", granted players 100 Chips and 20 Votes. Coinciding with this came a Message from the Monitor:
nice
just got my daily chips and votes
time to bet big
Please Help.
Right before the Postseason began, an Emergency Alert was broadcast. Before long, however, the message itself was clearly being actively edited. Whilst only edited one letter at a time, the messages the alert ended up at are as follows:
PLEASE WAIT
PLEASE WAIT...........
P
PLEASE HELP.
PLEASE HELP...........
PLEASE.
PLEASE WAIT?
PLEASE WAIT!?!?!
PLEASE WAIT.....
The message then continued to vary in line breaks and periods, eventually making the message vertical and adding select periods to letters, culminating at:
P....
L....
E.......
A..........
S....
E..
W....
A.......
I.....

The periods and letters themselves were then deleted, and when all were deleted, the usual PLEASE WAIT... was typed out. Shortly thereafer, the message changed to PLAY BALL!, and the Postseason began.
Ongoing Decrees
As of the end of Season β24, all Ongoing Decrees had been Nullified, and are no longer in play.
