Playoff Structure Question

professor ape · 09-17-2018, 01:50 PM

While I have been keeping an eye on the group, I’ve been away from the game for a couple of years but think it is time to come back into the fold.

I’m wondering if the game currently supports a playoff structure that I am contemplating. It would be a single league with four divisions of eight teams. I would want the four division winners and the two teams with the best record league wide to be automatically in the playoffs. There would be two play-in games for the four teams with the next best records to fill in the eight team bracket.

Yep, easy to do

Just setup the league, go to the custom playoff dialog, click 2 more wildcard teams, and then optionally customize any matchups (although the default should set it up roughly how you would expect).
