RESULTS
-------
All regular season results are finally in, and all stats and standings
are final.
Thanks for getting all the games completed!

We are getting the playoffs started a little late this year, so please
make an effort to start
each series as soon as possible and don't have any excessive delays.


PLAYOFFS
--------
In the final series of the season, Kansas took 3 of 4 from South
Florida to tie for the AC East
division lead at 91-71.  Kansas won the head-to-head series, 12-10, so
they are the division
winners and SFL is a Wild Card.  Buffalo won the head-to-head series
against SFL, 8-4, so they
will have home field advantage in the Wild Card series.

In the NC Wild Card series, Wisconsin will have the home field
advantage over Seaside.

pitching usage for determining rest requirements, and likewise teams that
start the playoffs on the road will use their regular season road
pitching usage.
