With either the Division win or Wild card win, the IronPigs will play in that series. With a Division win there would be home games on Sept. 9th, 10th & 11th. With a Wild Card berth, Home Games on the 7th & 8th. If the Pigs do make the final cut to the Cup Finals, they would have home games on Sept. 15th, 16th & 17th.
If two teams finish tied for the Wild Card, the IL playoffs officially expand
to include both teams. The tied teams will then compete in a one-game
first round series on Tuesday, September 6 to see who will advance to
face the North Division Champion in the traditional four-team format.
The following formula will be used to determine which club will serve as
the home team for the one-game playoff:1. Most wins in the head-to-head series
2. Club with the highest winning percentage during intradivisional play
3. Club with the highest winning percentage against other division winners
4. Coin toss
That’s the scoop. Enjoy!
OinK!
