The 2018 WBSC Coed Slow Pitch International Cup is set to begin on Thursday in Plant City, USA, with seven teams from six nations competing for the championship. The 8th edition of this traditional event will be played by Bahamas, Curaçao 1, Curaçao 2, Germany, Great Britain, Turks & Caicos and United States.
Mixed slow pitch features both male and female athletes playing together alongside one another on the field, promoting the gender equity in sports and being one of the most inclusive sport disciplines.
Each team is allowed a maximum of 20 players with no fewer than five being of one gender.
Among the specific rules of the tournament, two males and two females must be included in both the infield and the outfield; while pitcher and catcher may not be of same gender. The batting order must alternate the genders.
Bahamas is looking to reach its fourth consecutive final and recover the title, following their victories in 2015 and 2016, and their second place in 2017.
