Playoffs

Today we start the playoffs. The way the playoffs work here is: the 1st and 2nd seed have a bye for the 1st round. The 3rd seed plays at home against the 6th seed and the 4th seed plays at home against the 5th seed. Even though we tied another team with our record this year we ended up with the 6th seed as they had the tie breaker over us, so we are on the road playing Toyama.
Just like the regular season we play a game on Saturday and then one on Sunday. If you win both games you advance to the next round. If you split and each team wins one game you have to play a game three (since it is a three game series). Only game three isn't on a third day. Once game two is finished on Sunday, you get a 30 minute break to go back into the locker and rest/re-group/make adjustments.  Then 30 minutes after the 2nd game the teams come back out and play a 10 minute (two 5-minute halves) game 3, as the deciding game. In game 3 each team gets 4 fouls a half before the bonus and each player only gets three fouls before they foul out.
This is a little different than anything I have ever heard of or played in, but hopefully we can get it done in 2 games and not have to worry about a 10 minute game deciding a 52 game season. Go Jets!
