The Playoffs begin this Sunday with the Play-in games (9 vs. 10 and 8 vs. 7). The Final is scheduled for August 24. We will be putting on a barbecue for all players and fans including beers, burgers & hot dogs.
First, I need an official play-off roster from each captain no later than Friday noon. Only those players who have played a minimum of 2 games are eligible to play.
Tie-breakers:1. Forfeit loses. Any team with a forfeit will automatically be dropped in any tie.
2. Head-to-Head Record.
3. Point Differential.
I will have all of these determined Saturday 90 minutes after the last game and posted on this site.

why in god's name would the 7 seed play the 8 seed and the 9-10 play each other for the play-in games? that's retarded. just have the 7-10 play and the 8-9.
Here's the reasoning:
The #1 seed will play the lowest team (9 vs. 10) and #2 seed will play the next lowest teams (7 vs. 8). If it was 7 vs. 10 and 8 vs. 9, then #1 could play the 7th team and 2 play the 8/9 - so the #1 team is penalized in the situation you so eloquently put.

Well Graham,
Couldn't you RE-SEED the next round and post #1 seed will play the LOWEST ranked team that advances and #2 will play the HIGHER ranked seed and play 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9? Just an idea
or you could slot it like the ncaa tournament does - assume that the 7 and 8 seeds will win, so have the 8/9 game play the 1 seed and the 7/10 game play the 2 seed.
Or we can just shut up and play and thank our lucky stars that Graham takes the time and makes the effort to run a solid league with good players for us to enjoy so we don't have to play 2-on-2 on the 50 square foot YMCA court against my grandpa at lunch time.
