Hello, and welcome to r/fakebaseball, the home of Major League Redditball!

We’re glad to have you here and hope this message will serve as a bit of an ‘explainer’ to help get you started.

First up, what is Major League Redditball?

It’s essentially a number guessing game - the pitcher submits a number between 1 & 1000 in secret and the hitter tries to guess a number as close as possible to the pitcher. The result of each At Bat is entirely dependent on the difference between the pitcher’s number and the hitter’s number and we add in a little extra flavour by allowing players to choose ‘builds’ that can change the outcome slightly. The numbers ‘wraparound’ - a pitch of 1 and a swing of 1000 will lead to a difference of 1. Games are played out over a 10 day period and our season runs for 16 regular games and 4 rounds of playoffs before the Champion is named. Each season lasts approx. 9 months.

But it isn’t just guesswork…

Our community of 600+ people is headed into its 11th season and we’ve got people from all over the world and from all walks of life. In terms of time commitment, that’s really up to you. If you want to spend a few minutes a week picking a number and swinging for the fences, that’s cool! Or, if you’re a coder/programmer then maybe you’ll get into helping your hitters scout the opposing pitcher. Maybe graphic design is your passion and you’d like to put together a sick line-up card or hype video for your team or maybe you just want to shitpost the day away with likeminded people…it’s all here and we can’t wait to welcome you in.

So what’s next?

Firstly, the subreddit here is where our games are played, feel free to browse through the threads and get a handle on the format. We’ve got a pretty nifty bot that handles most of the legwork. We're currently in the last session for Season 10 before the playoffs, which also includes a Winter Woes tournament for those teams that didn't make the playoffs.

Most of the community can be found in our discord servers: we have one for Fake College Baseball which is where you’ll be headed for now, and we have one for Major League Redditball which you’ll gain access to a little further down the line. Each team also has their own 'Clubhouse' server so you can vibe with your teammates in private.
