The 2020 Benchwarmer League Tournament - Motor City League
First Round - Round of 16
In the 2020 season shortened by the Covid-19 pandemic, BWB is
restructuring the league playoffs to include all 16 teams in the
league. Division winners are given the top 4 seeding spots and
the remainder of the field is ranked 5-16 based on winning percentage
during the 2020 regular season. The 8 teams that win series in
this round will move on to the league
quarterfinals .
For just this first round, as a reward for winning their divisions, the four division winners begin the series with a 1-0 lead. They only need to win 3 games to advance, while their opponents will need to win 4.
The eight teams that lose in round one will move to the
Bottom
Feeder Open - where, for one year only, the winner will have the
top spot in the 2020-2021 off-season transaction order,
including for the Redistribution Draft. In the
quarterfinals, the four winning teams will move on to what in
normal seasons are the conference championships and the league
final . The four losing teams will move on to the
Gore Cup .
