PDSL Playoff Update:
If you have any questions or comments about this season's playoffs, please post in our league forums - click here.
In accordance with league rules, section 9.2.2, below please read the preliminary details of this season's playoff configuration. Please make note of the several changes and updates over previous seasons. A flyer with additional details will be distributed soon.
Because of league expansion, this season's PDSL playoffs will be expanded to two regional playoffs followed by a league-wide playoff event to determine the overall league champion. Two regional playoff events will determine the final 16 participants (8 from each region) who will compete in the central league championship finals event for cash prizes. Here are the basic details outlining changes from previous seasons.
- The two regional playoffs will be 1) New York/Connecticut and 2) Massachusetts; the top 8 finishers of each regional will advance to the Central League Championship
- C Division will compete only in a regional event and regional C champions will receive a trophy. There will be no central playoff event for C Division. C division players who want to try and qualify for the central playoffs are advised to play up in the B division event.
- A separate central league championship will determine the overall league champion. The top 8 of each regional playoff will advance to the central league playoffs with the following payout structure. See below for updated award payment policy*:
- A Division: 1st: $480, 2nd $240, 3-4 $120, 5-8 $60; A total: $1200
- B Division: 1st: $240, 2nd $120, 3-4 $60, 5-8 $30; B total: $600
- Total Playoff Award Purse: $1800
- The format for each regional playoff will be the same as previous seasons, i.e. same # of legs per round. Seeding by PPR rank, mandatory chalking, player RSVP requirement and all other playoff features will remain the same.
- To be eligible for the playoffs, you must have completed and filed reports for all regular season matches by the end of the end-of-season makeup period.
- Once you are eligible, you will then need to RSVP and confirm your ability to attend your regional playoff. Only RSVP if you are certain you can attend, last minute drop outs will cause BYES in the playoff bracket. RSVPs are done via email to Mark Clifford.
- Players will be seeded based on PPR and a bracket with matchups published online prior to the playoffs.
- Players may opt to play in the division level above their PPR, but must inform the league of this request at time of RSVP.
