Columbus and Detroit got swapped?

Fixed.  I was going by NHL, not our setup.

So what is the final ruling

If 12 teams make it...

1 and 2 from each get a bye
3 vs. 6
4 vs. 5

reseed after the first round

Just like the NFL

Is everyone good with this?

Playoffs



12 teams (top 6 from each conference, 1st and 2nd place from each gets bye in round 1) 3v6, 4v5 - starting 2017

round 2 - 1st vs lowest seed from round 1, 2nd vs remaining team

round 3 - conference final

round 4 - league final



**Playoff Tie Breaker - in the event of a tie in points at the end of the match, the higher seeded team in Season Standings will be the winner.**

Yup, so this will take effect next season or this season

I have already changed Fantrax standings to just East and West Conference.

no more divisions....just east and west conference

so 1&2 from East and 1&2 from West would get the byes.

I like how the NFL does it and it would be perfect for this league. I do agree that maybe over half the league getting into the playoffs is meh, but then again it doesn't pose a REAL issue other than the principal of it

Is this solidified now? Looks like majority rules in this one

Yes.  I have added it in the rules.
