Starting next season, doubleheaders will be held the next day if Friday and Saturday games in the KBO are canceled due to rain.<\/p>\n

The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO<\/a>) announced the principles of the 2024 KBO League schedule on Monday, including these details.<\/p>\n

At its recent board meeting, the KBO decided that starting next season, if a Friday or Saturday game is canceled, a doubleheader will be played the next day.<\/p>\n

This will be implemented starting in April, excluding the summer months of July and August. When doubleheaders are played, teams will be allowed to use two extra players per team.<\/p>\n

Opening Day will also be moved up a week from the previous schedule. Next year’s regular season will begin on March 23.<\/p>\n

In addition, the All-Star<\/a> break will be shortened from seven days to four. Since 2019, the All-Star break has been seven days long.<\/p>\n

The 2024 KBO All-Star Game<\/a> will be held on July 6, with the venue to be determined. The All-Star break will be from July 5 to 8.<\/p>\n

The change comes after a series of rainouts this season made it difficult for teams to make last-minute scheduling decisions.<\/p>\n

This regular season, 72 games were rained out, 30 more than last year (42).<\/p>\n

This increased the total number of remaining games and delayed the postseason schedule. The rescheduling of the remaining games led to controversy and even a skit in which a doubleheader was played at the Gocheok SkyDome<\/a>, the only dome stadium in Korea.<\/p>\n

The KBO explained, “We decided that it was important to continue the regular season in order to minimize the inconvenience to baseball fans and prevent injuries to the team.”<\/p>\n

The organization also took into account that baseball’s national championship, the Premier 12, will be held next November. The Premier 12 will take place from November 10 to 24. \uc2ac\ub86f\uc0ac\uc774\ud2b8<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
