Playoffs Format

Post by wdoupis »

I know it is not the offseason but a lot of playoff chatter the past few days and none of it in support of our current live format. Here are 3 ways we can change it starting with this season. I will go with majority but if there are 2 of the 3 that are really close perhaps I will repost the poll with just those two options if that makes any sense when this is over.

This effects the entire league so please EVERYONE VOTE. This is not just for this years playoff teams

1. Change nothing, we live sim as we always have.

2. Conduct morning sims per usual but instead of doing 7 days I will just sim thru a series and we can live sim the Championship Round and World Series. Day 1 will be Wild Card round, day 2 division rounds, then day 3 we live sim the Championship round and World Series resulting in an hour live sim at most.

3. Same as option 2 except we only live sim the World Series therefore it is 3 days of sims and a live sim on day 4

Changed my vote for now from option 2 to option 1. Ideally I'd like to sim the first round and then be live for the 7 game series but not sure how much time that would save us

That's what we do, we waffle! We could also be bought if one option is important enough to you :)

There is no doubt that it is coming lol. To be honest the live playoffs is my favorite thing we do but also the hardest thing for me as commish because the time difference so I am fine either way and if it changes back in a season or two I am fine with that as well

Not going to win but I voted to keep it as is because of this.


I'd be all for it if we were simming the 1st 2 or 3 rounds in option 2 and 3 all in 1 day.

I think it will still be 1 day. Early Morning sim for the first round and evening sim for the finals.

Best case is to get it down to 2 days. I can sim round 1 the day following regular season, then round 2 the next morning and then live sim the rest that night.
