Qualification for Playoffs:
The club with the best overall record in each of the four divisions shall be declared Division Champion.
A tie between two or more clubs for any position in the final standing at the end of a Championship Season, which does not involve first place in the league, shall remain in the records as a tie.
In the event of a tie for first in any Division, the Division Champion will be determined by:
- the record between the two clubs; if still tied,
- the record against clubs in the same Division; if still tied,
- the record against clubs in the same Conference; if still tied, then
- a one-game playoff between the two clubs with the home team determined by the president of the League by flip of a coin.
In the event of a three-way or four-way tie for first in any Division, the Division Champion shall be determined by:
- the record between the tied clubs; if still tied,
- the record against clubs in the same Division; if still tied,
- the record against clubs in the same Conference; if still tied, then
- the differential of runs scored versus runs allowed throughout the season.
