==Playoffs==
===Format===
Modified double elimination. 
The top seed gets a "bye" to the first game of the second round.  Games 8 and 9 set up the first elimination and give the league champion a way back in the tournament if they lose their first game. The system is weighted to give the top seed a potential of winning the championship in 3 games while most of the seeds would have to win 5 games to win the championship.
note Games are NOT played in numerical order
