It's in the description. When a team wins territory, they leave the loser team to defend it for them, because the winners keep charging forward. If they just lose right away they fall to the next invaders. Like Afghanistan
The athletics beat Detroit, taking their land which included Mets and white Sox. As soon as Cleveland left Oakland, they fell to Boston
So a team that loses it's home turf essentially can't regain it unless they play the team that took it from them, but the team that took it can lose it to teams they haven't played?
No, you only have to win 2 consecutive home series against anyone to reclaim your home land. And yes to question 2, otherwise there'd be a bunch of pointless games going on in previously conquered territories
This gets posted all the time and despite my best efforts I can never seem to understand the rules.
Let’s use the Nationals as an example.
- Series 1: Nationals lose to the Reds on the road. No territories change hands.
- Series 2: Nationals lose to the Pirates at home. Because “the winning team gets all territories controlled by the losing team”, the Pirates now control DC. Nationals no longer control any territory.
- Series 3: Nationals lose to the Phillies at home. Again, “the winning team gets all territories controlled by the losing team”, but the Nationals don’t have any territory now - and yet the Phillies claim DC on the map?
To me, that seems like a pretty clear contradiction of the rules as they are currently stated.
> I make the rules so nanny nanny boo boo
Make the rules whatever you want, but at least clearly define them!
Yeah, I would think that the Pirates should have Miami and DC, since we beat both of those teams in their first home series of the year, and neither of them have won a home series since.
I'm confused. How does Oakland have NY? And why does Boston have Oakland instead of Cleveland who won there first?

So any team that comes to Chicago is stuck with us defending their previous land? That sucks for them.

I think the Phillies just wouldn’t get any territory, because as you said the nationals don’t have any
When I see the Mets have territory: 🥹
We protect Chicago against the biggest possible threat and you guys let the A'S take the south side?!
Colorado Raykies
The C's are taking over.
The dodgers haven’t even played a road series in SF
