Playoff Structure

All teams will be in a two-tier playoff system to determine the teams' odds for the next season’s lottery draft.  Playoffs will be during NFL Weeks 15-17.  If necessary to determine a tie breaker in a playoff game, starting players will be scored according to "partial points" (see paragraph 13).  If a tie still exists, all players from bench will be counted, utilizing partial points where applicable.
