Playoff Breakdown
We will start with 9-man. The 9-man division was played as one large division. Nine teams, with top seven making the post season. Tie breakers, as always are Head to Head wins (sweeps), Strength of Schedule, Total Points in H2H games, Total Points in all games, Coin Toss.

A quick reminder to all teams that your players must have 5 games to be playoff eligible.
Call me if you are not sure. I have already spoken with 6 teams about some players, and I’ve only had to disallow 2 players. Please do not place me in the position on Playoff Sunday to make the call.
Championship Games will be the 13th of June
Thank you for support, understanding, and continued flexibility. It has been a long time since we have ended the regular season on time.
We should have a Turf Field for our Championship Sunday.
