With final round times and venues already fixed for Germany, they better not embarrass organizers by not qualifying…
Qualifying has already happened, plus they are the hosts so they would qualify automatically.
If they qualified for the final round automatically, they wouldn’t have to play at group stage, would they? Only the top three teams in each group make the final round.
No, Germany isn’t qualified yet for the Final Round. I guess there is a misunderstanding between you two. “heavesrock” thought you meant that Germany isn’t qualified yet for the whole tournament. But your post obviously was about the final round.
btw: It is common procedure in European Baseball that the game times and sites of the hosts in classification and final rounds will be set prior to the tournament. It is just another way to optimize attendance numbers.
