The Caribbean Series, akin to America’s World Series, has been a longstanding tradition among baseball fans in Latin America and the Caribbean countries, first played in 1946. Each year, the series is hosted by one of the league’s participating countries. In 2014, the series moves to Venezuela.

This year’s Caribbean Series introduces a new competition format that includes a seventh day game for the grand finale. As in previous series, there are two rounds during which all teams will play each other twice. Then, the two best teams play the final game for the championship. Changes in the system are in an effort to create a more equitable tournament and guarantee a final game.
