Talk:One-game playoff

message: This article could be combined with any new info from Pennant playoff and used to create a better-titled article called "Tie-breaking playoff", with the two older pages redirecting to the new one. Any comments? Wahkeenah 04:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. The redirect pages help us doing that. I think the title "tie-breaking playoff" is much more clear than "pennant playoff" or "one-game playoff", specially if we consider the 3-game tie-breaking series in the history of the MLB. Aladdin Lee 16:46, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Nit-pick: The MLB section should really refer to a "best of three" playoff, as "three game playoff" could be misinterpreted. WHPratt (talk) 12:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

text: Re "Make-up games": The screwy 1981 strike-interrupted split season featured a make-up game with playoff implications contested the day after the scheduled end of the season.  In point of fact, they were prepared to make up a double header, but the first game decided the issue.WHPratt (talk) 12:45, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

message: It looks like the change was implemented for the 2001 season, but the newspaper story is not definitive, so its not ready for the main article yet. Simon12 02:32, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that the theoretical scenarios never actually happened, how important is the issue of whatever the old more-than-two-teams rules were? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, someone may be re-creating these seasons in simulation, via theoretical analysis or computer or Strat-o-Matic or something similar.  They may want to resolve such a scenario that develops by the prevailing rules, and there aren't many other places to go for this kind of research.WHPratt (talk) 15:06, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Playoff rules changes in 2001 

message: Curious.  It would appear that player statistics for these games are pretty much lost to the ages, as they're neither regular season games nor postseason playoff games.  And here we're talking of an extra 1/12 or 1/13 "season" in many cases (as opposed to othere sports where a single extra game represents far less).WHPratt (talk) 17:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NFL Tie-Break Games 

message: There is this paragraph: "Prior to the wild card playoff system, all five pennant playoffs in the National League had involved the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers (which won the coin toss for home field all five times, yet lost all except the 1959 one), and both American League playoffs had involved the Boston Red Sox (who hosted both and lost both). None of the one-game playoffs since 1994 have involved those teams."
Please be more specific at the outset.  I know of these tiebreaker playoffs before 1969: NL in 1946, 1951, 1959, 1962 (all involving the Dodgers), and the 1948 1-game playoff where Cleveland defeated Boston (nixing an all-Boston World Series).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 18:19, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
