You can now play the updated 2019 playoff format!
Background
Some of the key features for this update are:
- The wild card conference is dropped for 8 new conferences each with a conference tournament.
- The playoffs now have a group stage (NEW), a play-in (NEW), another group stage, and then the final playoff.
- The initial group stage takes the top team from each of the 8 new conferences (with a few other teams from the 5 major conferences).
- The top two teams from each group are seeded #1 & #2 and then enter a play-in where each #1 seed plays against a #2 seed. The winner makes it to the second group stage with the rest of the team from the top 5 major conferences who automatically make it that far.
- The rest of the playoffs proceed as before.
How To Use
To create a league with the new format you want to select:
- Game Type: Worlds
- Year Format: 2019
Next Update
If I did inadvertently create a major bug with this latest update then I could do a quick bug fix right away. Otherwise, I'll look to clean up any minor bugs that people come across and do some quality of life improvements on October 6th.
