Hello Players and Fans of the WSL!!
Now that we’re officially halfway through the season, I wanted to reveal to everyone what the 2014 WSL Playoff Format will be.
I’ve conferred with the WSL Rules Committee Members, we discussed a few scenarios, and the one we voted on and feel is the best is the following:
The #1 seed and the #2 seed in EACH Division, will be the top 2 seeds. As an example, per the standings now, Turkey’s Nest would get the #1 seed and RBar would get the #2 seed in the Godsy Division. And in the Fashion Division, Good Co would be #1 and 3 Kings would be #2. Then the remaining teams in each Division would be seeded 3-8 by winning percentage. Tie breakers will be head-to-head, then runs against and finally a flip of the coin if need be. This scenario gives teams incentive to win their bracket to get a higher seed.
The teams will then play in a single elimination, 1-8 seed tournament in their respective divisions. There will be NO re-seeding after each round. The winner of the Godsy Division will play the winner of the Fashion Division in the championship we delightfully call “Championship Sunday.”
Schedule for Championship Sunday is:
11am: Semi-Finals for Godsy and Fashion Division
1pm: All-Star Game
3pm: Championship Game
6pm: Championship End of Season Partay (location tbd)
As of right now, this is scheduled for the 28th of September. Obviously, this is not set in stone as we cannot control the weather, but this is the plan so far, so clear your schedules and make sure you plan to take Monday off!!
Thanks, everyone!
