The field of playoff teams for the Millennium Sunday Fall "E" Division has been increased to eight teams.
Not only will this change allow two additional teams from the division to qualify for the playoffs, but will eliminate the bye week for the division winners.

Millennium Sunday Fall "E" Division - Playoff Tiebreakers
Tiebreakers are as follows (in the order listed):
If two teams are tied with identical records:
1. Head to head
2. Run differential in games vs. each other.
3. Record against playoff teams
4. Coin Flip (this only comes into play for seeding... if two teams are tied for the final playoff spot and it reaches the fourth tiebreaker, a one-game playoff will be played at 8:30 a.m. prior to the quarterfinal round commencing).
If more than two-teams are tied:
1. Head to head (if one team sweeps all the others, they get the higher seed).
2. Barring a head to head sweep, everyone's record against the other teams they are tied with will be computed, and the team with the worst record will be seeded lowest. Then, the tiebreaker scenario will start over again until two teams remain.
