League Playoffs and Club Championship
Every team has a postseason. At the end of the regular season, the top 8 teams in the league standings play in a bracketed playoff to determine the league champion.
The other 6 teams continue to play in round robin friendlies.
This league postseason takes 3 weeks. At the end of those three weeks, the eleven league champions will have been determined. Those eleven will be joined by five other wildcards to play in the Club Championship event, a 16-team tournament.
The wildcards will all come from the pool of runners-up in the league playoffs. That is, they will be teams that made it all the way to their league championship game, but lost that game. Among those teams, the five teams with the best overall record (via win-percentage) throughout the year will be chosen as wildcards.
Examples:
* Your team finished the regular season undefeated and atop your league after the regular season. In our league playoffs, you win your first two weeks but lose in the league championship final. You finished second, and your record makes it almost certain that you will be chosen as a wildcard and will participate in the club championship.
* Your team finished with a great regular season record. But you lose your first game in the league playoffs and end up finishing in 7th place. Since you were not a league playoff runner-up, you will not be considered for a wildcard spot regardless of your record.
