2018 OJBLL Playoff Format
As Playoffs are approaching fast, here's an update on how the 2018 OJBLL Playoffs will unfold.
Playoff Structure: At the recommendation of the OJBLL Executive Committee there will be slightly different East and West Conferences playoff formats for this season for the first round only.
At the end of regular season play the winners of the 3 East Divisions will select their opponent for the first round of playoffs only, with the higher seed selecting first.
After the three teams have picked, the remaining two teams would play each other. All playoff rounds will remain as 3 out of 5 series.
In this situation a divisional winner might not be one of the top three teams by points, but will still pick in turn.
The West Conference will continue with the current point system process where the team with the highest point standing will play the 8th place team and so on, (2nd vs 7th, 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th).
Also, the trade deadline will be 11:59pm ET on Monday, June 11, 2018.
