How do Playoffs work now???

Session Playoffs are in a few short weeks. I have been getting calls on how they work now... Here are the guidelines I will be following to figure out who plays who and who advances!! Make sure you read how the wild card gets drawn (it's at the end of this post)

8-Ball Leagues:

In a division of 4 teams, the 1st place team and one Wild Card team advance to playoffs. There will be one week of playoffs and one team will advance to the session’s Tri-Cup.
In a division of 6-10 teams, the first place team will automatically advance to the session’s Tri-Cup. The 2nd place team will play the Wild Card and the 3rd place team will play the 4th place team. There will be one week of playoffs and two teams will advance to the session’s Tri-Cup.

 9-Ball Leagues:

In a division of 4 teams, the 1st place team and one Wild Card team advance to playoffs. There will be one week of playoffs and one team will advance to the yearly City Tournament (World Pool Qualifier - WPQ).
In a division of 6-10 teams, the first place team will automatically advance to the yearly City Tournament (WPQ). The 2nd place team will play the Wild Card. There will be one week of playoffs and one team will advance to the WPQ

 

Weighted Drawing For Playoff Wild Card:

When drawing for the Wild Card to participate in playoffs, the drawing will be weighted according to final standings of the teams that did not earn an automatic bid into the playoffs. The number of entries into the Wild Card Draw will be dependent on the number of teams in the division, as well as a team’s final standing in a division. The last place team will receive 1 entry into the Wild Card, the 2nd to last place team will receive 2 entries into the Wild Card Draw, the 3rd to last place team will receive 3 entries into the Wild Card Draw, and so on.
 


Important Update for the 4th Week of Fall Session
8/31/25 - 2:24 pm
This marks the final week for making any changes to your team in the Scorekeeper app. If you are not playing tomorrow, please contact me or your Division Representative today (you can find their contact information in the Pool League app) to obtain your opponent's phone number. I will be unable to look up phone numbers tomorrow afternoon as I will be attending a Reds game with the family.
