Playoff time is here!
Brackets
Format & eligibility
- Players with 25% participation are eligible to participate (14 or more games).
- Unlike typical league nights, playoff matches will be played as a race to 9. Once a team reaches 9 wins, the match is over.
- Also unlike typical league nights, only one time out is allowed per game, only the player at the table can call a time out, and the player at the table must designate a single teammate to participate in the time out.
- If a match is tied 8-8 after 16 games, each captain chooses a player to compete in the tiebreaking game. Players in the 17th game lag for the break.
- If the shot clock is in effect, players get one 60-second extension per game.
We ask captains to report scores promptly and accurately so we can schedule upcoming matches the next morning.
