ANNOUNCEMENT:

;

A The 4 Open division winners will be the #1 - #4 seeds. After removing the division winners from the standings, the next 12 Open teams make the "A" playoffs in order of ranking (see rules page under league info for ranking procedure.) On day 1, all "A" teams play 2 games: first round (1 v 16), (2 v 15) ... (8 v 9), and then quarterfinals; (1 v 16 winner) v (8 v 9 winner). Day 2 (which could be 6/14 or 6/21 depending on what the final four coaches vote for) is the final four. B All the Open teams who do not make the cut for "A" playoffs (12 teams) will play in the "B" playoffs. B starts on 6/14, with 4 of the 12 teams getting a first round bye. We`re going to do this randomly, and also randomly seed the B playoffs. Before someone objects to this go back and read the perenial "why is B done differently" thread from 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005...to see the same answer every time. So 4 play-in games and 4 quarterfinals for B on 6/14, gets us to the B final four. B will play its final four on either 6/21 or 6/28 (depending on when the A final four is). C Like "A", C will play its first round and quarterfinals on 6/7. The last place teams in each Novice Division will play "Bowl" game (their guaranteed 8th/postseason game). 1-8 from East will matchup against 8-1 from the West, i.e. top bracket: 1E-8W plays winner of 4W-5E 3E-6W plays winner of 2W-7E lower bracket: 2E-7W plays winner of 3W-6E 4E-5W plays winner of 1W-8E C final four will be on 6/14 (if A votes to play final four on 6/21) or 6/21 (if A votes to play final four on 6/14).
