With the regular season complete and the standings finalized, it’s time for playoffs. Here’s how everything will shake out over the next two weeks.
How the brackets are formed
Teams are grouped into brackets of four based on their regular season win/loss records. The top four teams in each division make up that division’s first bracket, the next four form the second bracket, and so on through each age group. U16 will have two brackets of four, with the bottom two teams in the standings facing off against each other in both Week 6 and Week 7.
How ties are broken
Seeding within a bracket comes down to two tiebreakers. The first is number of wins, so if two teams finish with the same record, the team with more wins is seeded higher. If wins are also tied, the second tiebreaker is points differential, and the team with the better differential gets the higher seed.
Week 6, Saturday, May 30 (Semifinals)
Every bracket follows the same format: the 1 seed plays the 4 seed, and the 2 seed plays the 3 seed. The winners of each semifinal advance to the championship in Week 7.
Good luck to everyone!
