PRINT THAT OUT! BRING YOUR BALL!

There's the biggest schedule BKKB's ever had: 32 teams playing twice. O, the days when we had to beg high school kids to kick our asses.

Note that the first column's header says "Time SLOT", meaning, just like all season, we are not saying that the 2nd slot is 2'clock. The 2nd slot starts when the first game ends. So please, as I've implored all season, have your teams ready and alert. Have your roster ready before the game. Flip the coin with your opponent before the game. Take the field immediately after the preceding one ends.

Here's the deal folks: we're doing a Point based system for these first two weeks (3 total games) of the Playoffs. Teams will earn 3 Points for a Mercy Win, 2 Points for a Regular Win, and 1 Point for a Tie. While I should deduct a point for a Mercy Loss, fuck it. There is a chance that some teams will be mathematically eliminated after this Sunday, yet I will still try to schedule them on the 14th. However, I must give priority to any potential Tie-Breakers for Division Leaders, should they occur after 3 games. I will schedule games for a mathematically eliminated team against any remaining contender, thus giving the former a chance to play spoiler. Also, if any team has clinched their division after September 7th, they have a bye on the 14th. That's called an honor, people.

The 21st is the Quarter-Finals, and that's a best of 3 affair, 5 innings each. Going into that day, and only for that Round, I reserve the right to reseed the remaining teams. I will reseed based on what my intuition tells me. I will consider their regular and post-season performances, and the current makeup of their squads. If you think it's unfair, so what? I don't care. Look how many times Venus Williams got some bullshit seed and went onto win Wimbledon. Andre Agassi took the '94 US Open unseeded. What the fuck was that committee thinking? Teams will be where they are because of what they are. Amen.

Here's something to help you, lifted from the Kickbacks' website:
