Top 16 teams in The American League qualify for playoffs. All playoff rounds except the finals are 1 game elimination. The finals are best 2 of 3 series.
League standings are determined first by total points, then by winning percentage.
Playoff rosters - After the 10th game of the season, each team will submit their final playoff roster to the league office. These rosters are locked before the 11th game is played. Full team rosters will be sent to each manager and posted on the league website.
Points are determined as follows:
Win = 2 points
Tie = 1 point
Loss = 0 points
Tie Breaker 1: In the event of a tie in the standings (2 or more teams tied in points and winning percentage), the first tie breaker is head to head competition.
Tie Breaker 2: In the event head to head competition does not break the tie, net runs scored in head to head competition will be used to settle the tie (the team with the higher number of net runs scored advances to the playoffs). In the event three teams are tied, net runs scored will be used to break a tie in situations where the head to head round robin results yielded identical records.
Tie Breaker 3: Net runs scored for all games played during the regular season. Net runs scored is calculated by adding up all the runs a team has scored and subtracting all runs allowed. The team with the higher number of net runs scored advances to the playoffs.
Tie Breaker 4: The final tie breaker is a coin flip.
