7.1 GENERAL - At the end of each regular season, the SDPL will hold playoffs to determine the top team. In addition, the playoffs and regularly scheduled tournaments will be used to determine our representatives to the West Coast Challenge.

7.2 ELIGIBILITY - Players wishing to participate in the team playoffs must have played at least 25% of the games possible for any one player on the team.

7.3 FORMAT - The top four teams in each division will qualify for team playoffs. The lowest division will play the next lowest division on the first regular night of play after the end of the season. The winning team of the first playoff will then play the next higher division, so on and so on, until there are only four teams remaining. The #4 team from the lowest division will play the #1 team from the next higher division, #3 will play #2, #2 will play #3, and #1 will play #4. The higher division team (and the highest ranked in the case of two teams from the same division) will be the home team in a race to 9 match.

7.3.1 TIES – At the end of the season, team and individual ties will be decided by first reviewing the first half of the season and giving the tie to the team or person who won when playing each other in the first half. If the team split the score 8-8, the scores from the second half of the season will be reviewed for which team has more wins. In the event that the score is still split the Board will decide a tiebreaker (i.e. – play of a game or coin toss). If the individuals did not play each other in the first half, the tie will go to whoever won in the second half. If both individuals did not play each other at all during the entire season the Board will decide a tiebreaker (i.e. play of game, coin toss or number of wins in the first or second half of the season).
