ASK A QUESTION

Q. How do the Playoffs work this year?

A. The top 3 teams from the South and the East receive a First Round Bye and then the top four remaining teams from the South/East play a best 2 out of 3 for the last two playoff spots.  Then the final 8 teams are seeded 1st to 8th based on winning percentage.
