ALL (main site) player sets now with latest playoff formats
Posted: Tue Jul 26, 2011 10:15 am[i:3393992364]With the exception of two specific Back to the '90s leagues that are more than halfway through their season (and we can still negotiate, fellas):[/i:3393992364]
[b:3393992364]All existing and new leagues* in all player sets under the main Strat-O-Matic Online site are adopting the latest playoff formats, effective immediately.[/b:3393992364]
This means that for the following sets...
2007 season, 2008 season, 2009 season
1986 season, 1999 season
Back to the '90s
ATG IV, ATG V
... all existing and new leagues* will enjoy these recent playoff format upgrades that until now only 2010 season and ATG VI leagues have been enjoying:
12-team leagues: 2 rounds - Best-of-7, Best-of-7
24-team leagues: [url=http://forums.sportingnews.com/viewtopic.php?t=625986]3 rounds - Best-of-5, Best-of-7, Best-of-7[/url]
You can see the evidence of this change by going to your league Standings page; there's an extra line of info that should indicate what format your postseason will take (e.g. "Postseason format: 2 rounds: Best-of-7, Best-of-7").
[i:3393992364]* - The Back to the '90s leagues "What pitching?" and "Back to the 90s, Again" HAVE NOT YET adopted the Best-of-7 Semi-Finals, just on the off chance that any contending team explicitly wants to stick with the Best-of-5 for any reason (e.g. they built their starting rotation in a certain way). If the members of these leagues can come to a consensus that they want to go ahead and adopt the Best-of-7 Semi-Finals, please let me know at stratomatic@sportingnews.com and I'll make it so.[/i:3393992364]
