According the the OWL website,
- "Six teams qualify directly for the Playoffs based on their regular season records."
This contradicts the cited info in this article:
- "The top six season playoff teams will be determined by the same way they were in 2018; the top two teams from each division and the next four teams, regardless of division."
Should we take what is taken on the OWL website as correct? Pbroks13 ( talk) 15:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's not necessarily a hard contradiction, but if the top six teams were from only the ATL or only the PAC division, these statements are not equivalent (although it is a very unlikely scenario). According to the OWL website, Stage Playoffs do indeed include the top two division leaders:
- "Eight teams will qualify, including the two division leaders in that stage, along with the next six teams in the stage standings regardless of division."
- So, that will unfortunately not give any insight into how the Season Playoff teams are determined. (On a side note, I also have this issue with the tiebreakers. There are situations where they haven't covered! Perhaps there is a rule book floating around somewhere?)
- EDIT: Of course there is a rule book,
here. I will have to read through it later today.
