2017/2018 SCD Playoffs

[Wild GM (Jonathan)]

Option #2.

Although option #4 is the true Braveheart way to get things settled which I very much like! Lol

I'd recommend using the Yahoo Pro Leagues playoff tie breakers (similar to our regular season tie breaker rules), as follows:

1) Higher seed wins
2) Best regular record vs opponent wins

So would be option 4 first (ducks post), option 1 in bruins post.

I disagree with the statement above that regular season records should not be used. If that doesn't matter then the top teams should be getting byes in the playoffs or whats the point of the regular season.

Decision made - Avalanche win based on poll results. Damn loophole popping up at the worst time for my franchise.
In off-season LMs/Mods will discuss best tie-breaker format for a playoff match-up.
Thank you for that provided input via this thread and the GROUPME chat.

We go forward now and see the remaining 8 teams square off.

wow this is pretty rough ... I don't want to be just given the matchup ... I think I earned a tie and the rule not placed for playoff ties is not my fault ... I was just happy to see I kept it close but didn't realize I won my only matchup with Beamer too ! ... Sorry all for the debate
