Details of Olympics Baseball and the Ticket Luck value
Olympics Baseball
Baseball has a long history as an exhibition/demonstration sport in the Olympics. At the 1904 Summer Olympics Baseball had its unofficial debut and contested in 12 Olympiads (including its centennial in 2004 Athens). Since then, 17 different nations appeared in Olympic baseball competition, including Cuba, Italy and Japan, appearing in all 4 medal editions of the tournament. However, for 1992 Barcelona the International Olympic Committee (IOC) granted the sport medal status. Olympic baseball is governed by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF).
In July 2005 IOC meeting, baseball and softball were voted out of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, becoming the first sport voted out of the Olympics since Polo was eliminated in the 1936 Olympics hosted in Berlin, Germany. The event remains on the docket for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The elimination excised 16 teams and more than 300 athletes from the 2012 Olympics. The two slots left after the elimination were not filled by new sports, so both baseball and softball reemerged in the 2016 Olympics and both received enough votes to be included.
Although Olympic baseball first appeared in 1904, eight years later in 1912 an American team played against host Sweden, winning 13-3. In 1936 Berlin, two American teams played each other. The 1952 Helsinki event was a modified form of the sport. Australia played a one-game exhibition against the United States in 1956 Melbourne and Japan did the same in 1964 Tokyo.
After a 20-year hiatus, Olympic baseball returned but with formatted. In 1988 Seoul, it was termed a demonstration sport. Japan defeated the United States in the inaugural tournament finale in 1984. However, in 1988, Team USA was the winner over Japan.
Baseball became an "official" sport at the 1992 Summer Olympics, with eight team tournament. Amateur players were required. The tournament consisted of a round-robin, in which teams played, followed by semifinals and finals. The format of the competition remained the same since then, with the only major change in 2000 when players were not required to be amateurs.
Olympic baseball is nearly identical to most professional baseball. Aluminum bats were disallowed after 1996 Atlanta. There is also a mercy rule if a team is winning by 10 or more runs after 7 innings (or 6.5 innings if the home team is leading). For Sydney 2000, rosters were expanded to 24 players.
The tournament consists of a round-robin preliminary round where each team plays all 7 of the other teams. Only the top four teams advance to the medals round. In that round, semifinals are played between the 1st/4th place teams and the 2nd/3rd place teams. The semifinal losers then play with the winner earning the medal and the loser receiving 4th place. The semifinal winners play in the final, which awards the winner a gold medal and the loser a silver medal.
The final three places are given to the top three nations at an eight-team tournament held after the continental tournaments. Qualification is determined by those continental tournaments. The third and fourth place American teams, second and third place European teams, second and third place Asian teams, first place African team, and first place Oceania team compete in that tournament.
This qualification tournament is new for 2008. It was created after heavy criticism of the previous qualification standard. In previous Olympics, only two teams from the Americas were able to qualify for the Olympics, despite the vast majority of the top baseball-playing nations in the world come from this region. Europe, with weaker baseball nations, also entered two teams.
The host nation is always guaranteed a place in the Olympic baseball tournament. The other seven places are generally determined by continental qualifying tournaments. For the 2008 Games, the Americas receive two places, Europe and Asia one place.
