Scoring
Playoff scoring follows the same rules as the regular season, with one key difference:
Standard leagues: Each playoff round spans two weeks rather than the one-week matchup periods used during the regular season.
League Manager leagues: Each playoff round is two weeks by default, but the LM can adjust the length to their desires.
Tiebreakers
If a playoff matchup ends in a tie:
- The higher-seeded team advances. This is the default behavior in both standard leagues and League Manager leagues.
- League Manager leagues: The League Manager has final authority over which team advances in a tied matchup. Custom tiebreaker systems can be configured using the Edit Head-to-Head Schedule option in LM Tools. The League Manager manually advances the winning team under the league's chosen tiebreaker rules.
- Grandfathered Custom Leagues only: "Most Points from Bench" is available as a tiebreaker option exclusively for grandfathered Custom Leagues that used this rule in prior seasons. It is not available for new leagues.
