About playoff settings in Fantasy Baseball

Playoffs take place at the end of regular season play, but before MLB playoffs start in Head-to-head Categories, Points or One Win leagues. Regular season standings determine a team's playoff seed, matchup, and schedule; these aren't editable in anyway. The league's commish can edit other playoff settings by clicking Edit League Settings on the 'League Settings' tab.

Overall playoff seeding options

In leagues without divisions, playoff seeds are based on overall standings. League's that use divisions have the following options:

  • Division winners awarded top playoff seeds - Division winners are awarded the top seeds. Overall standings determine the rest.
  • All teams seeded according to overall standings - Regardless of division results, all playoff seeds are determined by overall standings.
  • Division winners advance, but seeded by overall standings- Division winners are guaranteed a playoff spot, but playoff seeds are determined by overall standings.
