Wildcard Play-In Game?

texasmame · 03-21-2017, 02:49 PM

I messed around a bit with playoff formats last night but couldn't find the current MLB setup of a one game play-in with the two wild card teams.

Is it there and I missed it? If so, what do they call it. I saw lots of BYE stuff only.

If you go into the league settings screen to adjust playoff format, it's in there.

If you set up a custom playoff with 5 teams making it, the default should be the current MLB format. Basically the #4/5 teams play a "Series" against each other, and each other team has a "bye" as their "opponent" in the first round.

Ah, I see. I've got 6 divisions overall - 3 in the NL and 3 in the AL with one wildcard making it right now from each for a total of 8 teams in playoffs. Sounds like the 4/5 team setup as explained above should do it.

I'll try that, thanks, Matt.
