Wallace has been appointed chief scorer and statistician for the tournament.
"It is a big challenge and I'm looking forward to it," the 46-year-old said.
Wallace, the financial manager at Basketball Otago, said one of the biggest hurdles would be moving from paper and pencils to an electronic scoring system.
"It will be a first for a world series in New Zealand.
We didn't have it in 2004 but we need it so an international audience, who can't get to New Zealand, can follow the games live online."
Wallace said she was not the most technologically savvy person on the planet but had already started searching for support staff.
"You can't have every skill, so an important part of the process is going through and selecting the members who can help me along the road. It is important to get the right people in the right positions.
"I'm hoping to have at least 15 to 16 people. We want live stats up as it happens on the diamond and we are targeting a programme called Iscore.
"It has been used in Australia for three years.
"We've been learning it and plan to trial the system live at our national fast pitch championship in Auckland in early December.
"It is going to be a dry run for the world series, if you like."
There is a touch of sadness associated with getting the top job. Wallace, who scored at the 2004 world series, expects she will be so busy co-ordinating the team she will not have time to score any games.
"That is the only disadvantage but, as I said, it is a huge honour and something I'm really excited about. And I'm hopeful I'll see the Black Sox retain their world title."
