Playoff Procedures

The format for the 2022 Postseason will consist of four teams per league in a best-of-3 division series, followed by a best-of-3 championship series.

The four participants per league will be the winners of each division from both halves based on the best winning percentage of each half. In the event the same club wins both halves, the club with the next best full-season winning percentage in that division will advance.

In the event of any ties, the following tiebreakers will apply in the order below:

1. Head-to-head record (if three or more clubs, best winning percentage in games among the clubs).
2. If the clubs remain tied, best overall winning percentage over the last 20 games.
3. If the clubs remain tied, best overall winning percentage over an additional game (i.e., the last 21 games, the last 22 games, etc.) until one emerges with a better winning percentage in that span of games.

Postseason Hosts

Division Series

• The winners of the first half in each division will host game two and, if necessary, game three of the Division Series. The winners of the second half in each division will host game one of the Division Series.

Championship Series

• In even years (e.g., 2022), the winner of the Division Series from the North division will host game two and, if necessary, game three of the Championship Series; the other Division Series winner will host game one. In odd years (e.g., 2023), the winner of the Division Series from the South division will host game two and, if necessary, game three of the Championship Series; the other Division Series winner will host game one.
