1 0 All Reedster^1119 There will be a "mercy rule" in the WBC, where games will end early if a team is behind by a set number of runs 1/27/06, 1:50pm So, this begs the question: why couldn't the organizers (at least for this first tournament) have been a bit more selective, so that this would likely not be an issue?
