------------------------ The Road to the Playoffs -- 3 weeks to go! ------------------------ Remember that the playoff field is expanded to 7 teams this year. The division winners are seeded 1 to 4 and the wild cards are seeded 5 to 7. Even though a wild card may have a better record than the winner of another division, the division winner is seeded higher. The #1 seed is the only team that gets a bye in the first round of the playoffs. We also made a rule change to guarantee that the scoring champion gets in. If the scoring champ is not one of 7 playoff teams, then the lowest wild card gets dropped and the scoring champ gets the #5 seed (the other two wild cards move down a notch). In case of a tie between two or more teams, the following order of tiebreakers is used to determine the playoff seedings: 1. Head-to-head (H2H) record between teams during regular season 2. Division record (only for teams in the same division) 3.
