If two teams tie for best record in a Senior Circuit league, a three-game playoff will be played following the close of the regular season. The games will be played on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (if necessary). The team with the home field advantage will host Games 1 & 3 (if necessary). The Senior World Series will then start on Thursday (regardless of whether or not a Game 3 is played).

Usage Rules

The three-game playoff would be considered part of the regular season. Expanded rosters would remain in play for these games. Usage for non-unlimiteds would be increased to 112%, provided that the player had not already exceeded 110% entering the playoff.

Home Field Advantage

Bandits-Force

Season series ended in tie, 10-10
Force currently lead in run differential by +23 runs entering Week 25. Provided that edge held, Force would host games 1 & 3 (if necessary).

Bandits-Orange Crush

Crush won season series, 12-8. Crush would host games 1 & 3 (if necessary).

Force-Orange Crush

Can't happen. Teams are separated by an even number of games, with an odd number against each other remaining to play.
