Playoff Seeding and Matchups

Posted byCarlos AyersPosted inLeague Rules

All division winners will make the playoffs, in addition to two wildcard teams.

Playoff Seeding

Seeding is determined independently in each conference. Three teams from each conference will make the playoffs.

1st Seed: The division winner with more games won.

2nd Seed: The division winner with less games won.

3rd: The team with the best record in their conference who did not win the division.

Seeding tiebreakers are as follows:

  1. Head-to-Head Record
  2. Best Won-Lost-Tied Percentage in Divisional Games
  3. Best Won-Lost-Tied Percentage in Common Games
  4. Best Won-Lost-Tied Percentage in Conference Games
  5. Strength of Victory in All Games
  6. Strength of Schedule in All Games

Matchups

The week 17 championship match is played by the winners of each conference.

Consolation Bracket

The consolation bracket acts similarly to the regular playoff bracket, and is open to every non-playoff team except the worst in each conference.

The consolation bracket will be playing for the #1 pick in the next year’s draft. However, even after a team is eliminated from the bracket, they will still play in a loser’s bracket in which they can obtain a better draft position.
