The 7th World Baseball Classic has hosted by relative newcomers to the WBC, Green wombat, who had only competed in the previous WBC.
Zwangzug, finally won its first title, shedding the label of "Best team not to win a WBC", or Newmanistan, who became only the 2nd newcomer to advance to the finals in their first attempt; Ambrose-Douglas in WBC 2 was the other.
Originally, only the top 2 teams in each pool advanced to the Championship Pool Stage; due to two pools each having the top 3 teams finish 4-1, and 1-1 in the H2H standings, the WBC and Green wombat decided to advance both of the 3rd place teams from those groups, as the tie-breakers used were not clear to the participants.
- Originally, the tie-breakers were to be:
- Head-to-Head (for 2 or 3 teams)
- Run Differential
- Runs Scored per 9 innings (all games)
- Runs Scored per 9 innings (away games)
But involving three teams in a tie-breaker, it was not clear as to which tie-breaker was to be used after 1 team had been determined, the RD or revert back to H2H for 2 teams.
