I was just looking at the Event 5 League 7 schedule and it looks like their regular season ends Jan. 2, so their playoffs should end on or before Jan. 14, so we should be able to keep on the schedule gbrookes originally laid out (information relevant to the semi-finals from gbrookes' "2014 PC Tournament !" thread quoted below).

The champion from that final league becomes the tournament champion, and the other finalist becomes the runner up for the tournament.

Subject to the commissioner's final discretion, it is intended that for the semi-finals, there will be a live draft for the ballpark only (not for player drafts). Not only will the re-use of ballparks from events 1-5 be prohibited for the semi-finals, but furthermore, we will require use of unique ballparks for the semi-final round, and the finals. The order of drafting in both the semi-finals and the finals will be based on the point scoring in events 1-5. The drafts will NOT be serpentine for the finals - i.e. the draft order will be repeated in each round. These "seeding" rules for the draft order provide an incentive and a reward for the managers who finish with the highest scores in events 1 through 5.
Re ballparks in semi-finals:
Since each semi-finalist will have already used 5 different ballparks in events 1-5, they may not re-use those ballparks in the semi-finals. So, if a manager is picking 12th for the live ballpark draft in the semi-finals, they will have to choose from one of the 14 remaining ballparks (30 minus 5, minus 11 ballparks already drafted in that semi-final event).

Playoff Schedule:
The Semi-Finals (see description on posts below) will commence with a "check in" and live ballpark draft, commencing January 15 (or sooner), with the auto draft occurring on or before January 25.
