Playoff Tournament Guidelines

All teams will be seeded 1st through 16th based on their regular season record. The 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups of 4 teams that play each other 3 times. The 4 brackets are as follows:

Willie Mays bracket: 1st, 8th, 9th, and 16th seeds
Mickey Mantle bracket: 4th, 5th, 12th, and 13th seeds
Ted Williams bracket: 3rd, 6th, 11th, and 14th seeds
Roberto Clemente bracket: 2nd, 7th, 10th, and 15th seeds

Each team plays 3 playoff games in Round 1 in a round-robin format within their bracket (Mays, Mantle, Williams, and Clemente).

The teams with the best record in these 4 brackets will face each other in Round 2 (Ruth and Aaron brackets) and will be re-seeded, 1 through 4 - 1st vs. 4th and 2nd vs. 3rd. The winners in Round 2 will face each other in the OTB Championship. In the event of a first-place tie in any of the brackets in the round-robin, a tie-breaker process will apply.

Playoff Tournament Tiebreakers

Tiebreaker # 1 - Tournament head-to-head

1) If two teams are tied for the best record and have played each other in the tournament, the winner of that game advances to the Championship game.
2) If two teams are tied for the best record but did not play each other in the tournament, the team with the best regular season record advances to the Championship game.
3) If more than two teams are tied at the end of the tournament and one team has beaten all teams that it is tied with, that one team will advance to the Championship game, otherwise the team with the best regular season record will advance to the Championship game.

Tiebreaker # 2 - Regular Season Record (and tie-breakers, if applicable)
