2005 World Cup rescheduled

The 36th baseball World Cup will be held in the Netherlands in 2005. Originally scheduled for August, the IBAF and the Royal Dutch Baseball and Softball Federation have moved the tournament to the end of the MLB season, from 3rd to 17th September 2005. The KNBSB press release speculates that this may lead to Major League players being involved. I'm not yet clear about what will happen to this tournament if MLB's plans for a professional "World Cup" go ahead next year.
