Playoff systems are the same for all Public Leagues (Six teams; Weeks 23, 24 & 25), but vary for Custom Leagues, as they are configurable. However, all leagues must follow one of the structures detailed below.

In the table below, P1, P2, etc., refer to regular playoff rounds, while C1, C2, etc., refer to the consolation bracket.

None:Your league may choose not to have playoffs at all. The winner will be the team with the best record once the season is concluded.

If you are in a Custom League with less then 12 teams, the 6-team and 8-team playoff systems will work the same, except that all teams will receive byes until there are enough teams to fill all of the spots for a given week.

Playoffs are only for Head-to-Head Leagues and cannot be used in Rotisserie or Points leagues.

Additionally, the fantasy playoffs do not include any real-life professional baseball playoff contests. All fantasy playoffs will conclude by the end of the real regular season.

Keep in mind that players on teams that do not make the fantasy playoffs or are eliminated from the fantasy playoffs are not released back to the Available Players pool.
