XVII - Playoffs and Tiebreakers

[D Backs GM (Tyler)]

Playoffs:
We are unique in that we're a 30 team 6x6 roto league for about the first 6 months of the season, but have an 8 10 team H2H playoff based on MLB's playoff format. The wild card, LDS, and LCS rounds each last 1 week and the World Series takes place during the final week + of the MLB season and includes any play-in games that Fantrax scores (not wild card playoff games). The World Series will vary a bit season to season, but it's always more than 1 week. There is a weekly minimum of 25 IP.

Tiebreakers:

If 2 teams are tied at the conclusion of our regular season with a playoff spot on the line, the first tiebreaker will be to score each team's regular season totals as if the entire year was a H2H matchup. Should that not resolve the tie, we will delay the start of the playoffs- reducing the World Series by the amount of days it takes to declare a winner. The regular season will effectively be over for every team not involved in the tie, so the draft order and playoff seeding (with the obvious exception of those teams) will not change as a result of the extended 'regular season.'
