I have a custom league with two conferences. I would like to have the four best teams from each conference make the playoffs. The playoff tree should be such that only the four teams within the conference play each other (until the finals when the two conference champions meet). So, it would be 1 vs. 4, 2 vs. 3, with highest seed always getting home ice through the playoffs. Best of 7.

Do I need to set this up with a custom format or is there already one available? If I use custom, what settings should I have?

In my FHM7 save, I had the pre-designated format "4 Teams Per Conference" and it did pick the best four teams, but there were inter-conference matchups before the finals, which I want to avoid.

Thank you.
