522.0. "Play-Off systems" by SA1794::TENEROWICZT () Fri Feb 10 1989 14:14

    I like to know what systems of Play-Offs are utilized within other
    DEC sponsored leagues. We use a system of;
    	3 teams from first half play off  and develope an overall
    first half winner. Second half is handled in a similar mannor and
    then the two finalist teams play off for the overall championship.
    	My personal feelings are that this system causes problems it
    doesn't even try to dail with. Issues of what handicap to use?
    So what systems are used in other leagues?

    To add some info... I'd like also to detail what I see as a
    possible alternative.
    
    First of all you play for one half of the season. At the mid break
    you take a snapshot of the standings. The first and second place
    teams are then guaranteed places within the year ends playoffs. The
    points accumilated for the half by these teams are recorded.
    To start the second half the points totals are then reset to zero
    and the second half on the season played. Again the first and second
    place teams are in the playoffs. The points scored in the first
    half and added to the points scored in the second half and a
    ranking of the four teams in developed and the play-offs begin.

    The DEC  league  at  Stow  Acres  has the following playoff selection
    process: (copied from the 1988 league rules)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Each flight will have a separate playoff.  The number of teams making
    the playoffs will be in proportion to  the  number  of  teams  in the
    flight. This season, there will be:
    
    12 teams - A flight      32 teams - B flight   16 teasm - C flight
    
    (My note: This means that 50 % of total teams in each flight make the
    playoffs)
     
    1. Winners of both halves - order determined by total points.
    
    2.  Winners/First  half  and  second half - order determined by total
    points  during  the season.    Tie  breakers  will  be  points  first
    half/points second half.
    
    3.  Team with the  greatest  total  of  points  for  the season.  Tie
    breakers  will  be  division  finish  during during first half/second
    half.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    I  don't  know  how the teams are matched in the  playoffs,  but  the
    format  is  basically two brakets made each of  half the payoff teams
    and where the winners of each bracket play for the championship in an
    18 hole round (normal is 9 holes), something like
    
    Team 1
           \
    vs.     >--
           /   |
    Team 2     |
                >------
    Team 3     |       |
           \   |       |
    vs.     >--        |
           /           |
    Team 4             |
                        >-------Champion
    Team 5             |
           \           |
    vs.     >--        |
           /   |       |
    Team 6     |       |
                >------
    Team 7     |
           \   |
    vs.     >--
           /   
    Team 8

    	Our league is set up with two halves. The 1st place teams from
    	each half playoff at the end of the season for 1st place (the
    	loser getting 2nd place). The second place teams from each half
    	playoff for 3rd place (the loser getting 4th place). The end
    	of the season handicaps are used by all players in the playoff.
    	I should mention that we have a small league, 16 teams, so this
    	fromat works good for us...

522.4give every team in. a chancePHENIX::MCSHANEMon Feb 13 1989 10:5511
    i hope that when leagues start playoffs that EVERY team that made
    the playoffs has a chance for the championship.
     i know the league i'am in has 4 teams in the playoffs, TEAM 1
    plays TEAM 2 for the championship. TEAM 3 & 4 play for 3rd and 4th.
     it drives me nuts thinking i've made the playoffs but can't
    play for the championship.
    
    1 vs 4   2 vs 3  then the winners / losers play
    
    thats a gimmie lets go
