Playoff Reminder

Just a couple of reminders as we head into the playoff season:

1. The playoff bracket is still structured by a "FIFA style". This means that the opening round of matches should be A1 vs. D2, B1 vs. C2, C1 vs B2, and D1 vs. A2. Teams finishing #1 in group play will enjoy home-field advantage in the first round. Higher seeded teams will enjoy home-field in the semifinals. The final match will be on neutral ground.

2. DLI teams will be seeded 1-8 and set into a bracket. I'll be setting up a DLI page through Cupmanager to show the bracket.

3. DLI champion will be put into the "top pot" for seeding in group play next year.

4. All of this stuff and official fixtures will be posted here sometime on Thursday.

5. Avalanche has just finished group play without giving up a single goal. The only other team in the history of the B-Cup to do that was Le Tigre, back in Season 21. (Next comes Brooklyn FC and Dirty Ratz who allowed one goal in Season 24 and 25, respectively.) OK, that has nothing to do with the playoffs, but you gotta give credit where it's due.
