The schedule has been set for the European Champions Cup Series between Curacao Neptunus Rotterdam and Unipol Bologna. The first game is scheduled for Thursday, August 6 in Bologna. Games two and three if necessary will be played on Saturday and Sunday, August 8 and 9 in Rotterdam.
It will be the last time that the best club team in European Baseball will be determined in a final series, as the European Cups will be transformed from a two-tournament format with 12 teams overall to a one-tournament event with eight teams. Additionally a CEB Cup with eight teams and a Federations Cup with four six-team tournaments will be created.
Bologna and Rotterdam had won the European Cups in Paris and Rotterdam last month, edging out L&D Amsterdam and Draci Brno in the process.
