Sim Nation Basketball AssociationThe playoffs are where the regular season pays off. This league keeps the format flexible so your commissioner can run the postseason your league voted for.
• Seeds come from the final standings. The regular-season record — the games you played and logged — sets who is in and where they sit. This is one more reason to play your full slate: the standings decide the bracket. At the end of the season, most active teams will get the advantage to participate in the playoffs, even if they will have less wins than less active teams.
• East vs West in Season 1. If one of the conferences is overstacked with competition, we will switch over to Top 16 regardless of conference in season 2. With conferences on, the top 8 teams from each conference qualify. With conferences off, the top 16 qualify overall: 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, through 8 vs 9. The bracket is fixed, with no reseeding or play-in.
• Playoffs format is 3-3-5-5. Meaning first 2 round are Best of 3, and conference finals and finals are Best of 5.
