1. The rules above apply to the playoff rounds, unless otherwise noted.

2. The playoffs will be double elimination. At the end of the Season, teams will be seeded in a bracket according to their league point total found in the league standings. In the case of ties at the end of the Season tie-breakers will be used in this order:
A. Head-to-head record
B. Head-to-head round total
C. Total round differential in all matches played. (SF in the standings table)

3. Playoff match weeks will follow the same calendar format as the regular season (Monday-Sunday). If a match date is unable to be scheduled between the two teams, the match day will default to Sunday at 9:30pm EST.

4. Initial bracket seeding will be determined by the results of the Regular Season. The Home team will be determined by the team listed on the top part of the Playoff Bracket.

5. Six maps will be selected for the Playoffs by the League.

6. The Away team will select their map block first, and the Home Team will select their map block. The Home team will select the first map and side. The Away team will select the second map with teams remaining on the sides they ended on for the first map. The Home team will select the third map if needed.

7. Best of 3 maps will be used. The first team to win 2 maps advances in the playoff.

8. If a map ends in a tie, teams will remain on the same sides and begin playing in overtime. Overtime will also be played in two halves with the Regular Season’s format, with teams switching sides when one team wins 3 rounds (instead of 7). The team that reaches an an insurmountable lead (cannot be tied or beaten) will win the map.

9. If an overtime ends in a tie, teams will remain on their current sides and begin to play in double overtime – repeating this process until a winner of the map is determined.
