Can you cancel playoff prior to their start?

I have a 12 team one subleague league with no divisions. 154 game schedule. Each team faces the other 14 times.

What I've been bouncing around in my head is a setup in which the top 2 teams face off in a best of 7 league championship series each year, unless the top team finishes the season up by 5 games or more. If that were to occur the top team would simply be crowned league champion out right. Just wondering if the post season can be cancelled, or will doing so cause problems. Thanks.

Playoffs not playoff. And there not their. I need to go back to bed.

I like this idea! Seems like it would add some fun intrigue to late season pennant races. It also kind of bothers me to have a playoff when you just spent 154 games playing out a balanced schedule format to determine the best team.

You can always delete the upcoming playoff games using the in-game schedule editor. I don't know if the game would consider the first-place team to be the champion in that situation, but I think it would. In any event, that would only be important for the league history and almanac. You could always compile an "official" list of league champions yourself.
