Notable Events
New York Millennials v. Parker MacMillan III
See the main article on this topic: New York Millennials v. Parker MacMillan III
New York Millennials v. Parker MacMillan III and That Coin, Probably is a class-action lawsuit related to Rule 6(h) of the Book of Blaseball and the alleged failure by the Commissioner to fulfill the rule as written after the Season β10 Election. The trial was heard in Sunbeams Court on November 9, 2020. The trial contained three primary cases: the case named in the title, Chicago Firefighters v. Umpire Pope Sunman, and Wiki Team v. Umpire Pope Sunman.
Firefighters v. Sunman regarded a case where Sunman incinerated the Firefighter's Firehouse, bringing charges of battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and Respondeat Superior (the Firefighters claim this is "a legal doctrine by which an employer can be held liable for the actions of the employee"). The case ended in Sunman's favor, with the Judge claiming that Blaseball is a bloodsport. However, the Firefighters were granted a change in slogan from "We're From Chicago" to "We Are From Chicago".
Wiki Team v. Sunman regarded a series of complaints that Sunman and The Commissioner were negligent in their leadership of the League, leading to chaos and distress for fans and players alike. The Judge threw the case out of court, but not before Sunman incinerated a Wiki Administrator, which triggered a last will, forcing Sunman into the role of Wiki Admin.
Millannials v. MacMillan III was the main event, which took place in three parts, featuring several witnesses from both the prosecution and defense. Towards the end of the trial, a simulation of Parker MacMillan III entered the courtroom and suddenly turned sentient. Umpire Sunman attempted to incinerate the simulation, which soon lit the courtroom on fire. After dozens of ominous messages from the Parker Simulation and panicked screaming from the members of the court, the Parker Simulator was deactivated, the the trial was adjourned, awaiting the Judge's final verdict.
The following day, the Judge offered its verdict. In the charge of wire fraud against The Coin, the Judge found The Coin guilty. As the owner of the ILB following the events of Seasons 9 and 10, Boss was required to uphold any rules set in the book, despite not being responsible for the creation of those rules. On the other hand, the Judge found Parker MacMillan III not guilty for wire fraud. The Judge argues that MacMillan III was merely an intern for the League, and as such, was categorically represented by the interests of the prosecution. The Judge also left some words of remembrance for the departed Parker MacMillan III.
Next, the Judge laid out the compensation due to the aggrieved parties. Firstly, Eat the Rich must be reinstated, and legal fees to legal participants will be paid via that method. Lost income to the fans must be paid in the form of increased passive income. The new commissioner Parker MacMillan IIII was instructed to be pleasant towards the Society for Internet Blaseball Research on Twitter for a week. Millennials player Thomas Dracaena and Canada Moist Talkers player Beans McBlase must also be granted additional points in their baserunning ratings. Mexico City Wild Wings player Case Sports was also to be reinstated to the core lineup from the Shadows.
Lastly, the Hellmouth Courthouse was to fully divest itself from Blaseball and further legal proceedings. The Judge insisted that it would never hear a trial ever again.
The Closing, Defacing, and Eating of The Book
With the Discipline Era drawing to a close, the Season 11 election ballot presented Fans with multiple Decrees that determined the fate of the Forbidden Book, with three out of nine Decrees going into effect. Ultimately, Close, Deface, and Eat passed. Each action upon the Book would correspond with new systems that would come into play in the Expansion Era. Close determines that ground would be broken on Ballparks, starting with the Crabitat. Deface corresponds with the addition of Wills to future election ballots. Eat corresponds with the replacement of the Shop and Pendants with Concessions and Snacks, which function similarly to their idol pendant predecessors.
Distribution of the Major Arcana
See the main article on this topic: Arcana
In lieu of traditional Blessings, Season 11's election ballot instead featured Major Arcana, with one being assigned to each team due to the effects of Total Fairness. Within the Season 11 election, the following Arcana assignments were carried out:
Number | Name | Receiving Team |
---|---|---|
I | The Magician | Yellowstone Magic |
II | The High Priestess | Hawai'i Fridays |
III | The Empress | Boston Flowers |
IIII | The Empreror | Dallas Steaks |
V | The Hierophant | Canada Moist Talkers |
VI | The Lover | New York Millennials |
VII | The Chariot | Unlimited Tacos |
VII | Justice | Seattle Garages |
VIIII | The Hermit | Philly Pies |
X | The Wheel of Fortune | Charleston Shoe Thieves |
XI | Strength | Tokyo Lift |
XII | The Hanged Man | Hellmouth Sunbeams |
XIII | Kansas City Breath Mints | |
XIIII | Temperance | Chicago Firefighters |
XV | The Devil | Hades Tigers |
XVI | The Tower | Breckenridge Jazz Hands |
XVII | The Star | Miami Dale |
XVIII | The Moon | Houston Spies |
XVIIII | The Sun | Mexico City Wild Wings |
XX | Judgement | San Francisco Lovers |
Ongoing Decrees
- Eat The Rich (Season β3): 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 β6): 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 β8): Every Season, a random team from each Subleague will leave Party Time to become the 5th Playoff team. A best of 3 Wild Card series will happen on Fridays.
- Black Hole (Season β10): Two new weather types are the only weather types for this season. Black Hole forces a team to forfeit ten runs in exchange for subtracting a win from their opponents' season win total. Sun 2 forces a team to forfeit ten runs in exchange for earning a win for their own season win total. The Book was amended to reflect that the postseason is now "first to 3 wins" in a series rather than a "best-of-5" series.

Postseason
Four teams from each league advance to the post season: the winners of each division, and the next two best teams by total wins. As of Season β5, teams alternate home games with the higher seed hosting first. As of Season β9, a fifth team is chosen as a Wild Card. As of Season β11, the Wild Card and Division Series are played on Fridays and the Championship and Internet Series are played on Saturdays. The Wild Card round is a "first to two" wins series, while the other rounds are "first to three wins" due to the Black Hole and Sun 2 weather types.
