The All-Star Baseball Classic is the premier event for players of Cadaco’s All-Star Baseball board game. This eight team National League style tournament is held annually in the home city of the defending Champion on President’s Day weekend in February. A trophy is awarded to the Champion, with the runner-up and third place winners receiving medals.
The festivities begin on Thursday night, with an exclusive invitation-only Champions Dinner. This is a baby-blue blazer formal event for ASB Classic Champions only.
Events continue on Friday evening as delegates from each team arrive. A banquet is held celebrating the start of the Classic, with the draft following. Each team drafts one single-season player and 10 career players to go with a pre-determined franchise player and eight pitchers for a total roster of 20 players. Draft order for the single-season player will be determined by the finish of the previous year and draft order for career players will be determined by a special weighted “lotto” disc. A home-run derby featuring one player from each team will be held following the draft.
Saturday features a round-robin format in two, four-team pools that play on two stadiums. The first game of the day will feature a rematch of the previous years Championship contest and will begin at 10:05 a.m., with pool 2 beginning play at 10:15. Games will begin every hour until 3:05, when a 30 minute break will be held to prepare for the days featured game at 3:45. At the conclusion of the day’s games, a closed vote by all teams will be taken to determine seeding for a double elimination tournament to be held Sunday. The remainder of the evening is spent eating, drinking, discussing the day’s events and tomfoolery.
Sunday’s double-elimination tournament Round One starts at 9:35 a.m. on two stadiums and continues every hour until every team but one has lost twice. The Championship rounds will be played on Macintosh Stadium in Fogelberg. A short awards ceremony will be held following the Championship game where the previous Champion awards the new Champion the 2010 ASB Championship Trophy.

Special Thanks to Cadaco Inc. & Ethan Allen for inventing the Cadaco All-Star Baseball Game.
About Joe
I have been playing Cadaco All Star Baseball since before I knew what numbers were! ... After creating hundreds of discs, several original designs for stadiums and helping to brainstorm goofy additions to the game, I would LOVE to hear what YOU are doing with the game. My hope is to build a long lasting web community with a growing set of cool online ASB features!
