2009 Season Playoffs
August 1st & 2nd - Northeast Athletic Fields
Now
that we have completed all 10 weeks of the regular season, teams have been divided into four divisions based on
end-of-season results and rankings. Following the division breaks,
teams were seeded for playoff games based on their record within their
division - games against teams in other divisions were considered for
league ranking, but not for playoff seeding.
The 2009 playoffs will be held at Northeast Athletic Fields on Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd starting at 8:30 am on Saturday and 9:00 am on Sunday.
This
will be a traditional double-elimination tournament, but at least two teams in
each division will be eliminated on Saturday. Championship
games are scheduled for 2:25pm Sunday with if-needed games immediately
following (in cases where neither team has experienced two losses).
Playoff
rules are the same as regular season league rules. 3/2 count (some
refer to this as starting with 1 ball and 1 strike). 1 courtesy foul.
Unlimited batting order/roster (all players must have qualified for the
league during the regular season). One hour time limit for all games
except championship games. Teams who enter an ineligible player into
the game will be disqualified from the tournament.
In
the winners bracket (undefeated teams), the high seed will choose if
they are home or visitor. In the losers bracket, high seed calls the
coin toss for home/visitor. In the championship game, the undefeated
team chooses home/visitor. In if-needed game, high seed calls the coin
toss.
