The playoffs will begin on Wednesday, May 22(A division) and Thursday, May 23(B division). In order to provide sufficient notice for all participating teams, the baseball seeding committee will meet on Sunday, May 19, 2013.
The committee will rank the top thirty-two teams in each division, according to their perceived relative strength as of that date. Therefore, it is imperative that teams competing for possible playoff positions have all their scheduled games completed by May 19, 2013. That includes rainouts and suspended games.
In addition, game results must be posted on the website. Winning percentage is determined by dividing the number of wins by the number of league games scheduled.
Only the top three teams in each division of the A & B will automatically qualify for the playoffs, provided that they have at least a .500 winning percentage. However a .500 winning percentage does not guarantee a playoff position for teams finishing fourth or lower.
The remaining slots will be filled by at-large selections of the seeding committee. In the case of a third place tie; head to head competition will determine the winner. If the teams split their games, they must schedule and play a tie breaker game by Saturday May 18, 2013 using May 19, 2013 only as a rain date.
Please note in the “B” division thirty-three (33) teams could qualify. In that case the teams seeded 32 and 33 will have a play-in game on Tuesday, May 21, 2013.
