Reminders
Any team that forfeits three (3) or more regular season matches will not be eligible for Playoffs or Championships.
Playoff Start dates and times may vary per league based on factors like bracket size, state league accommodations, broadcast accommodations, or game launch accommodations.
More specific playoff information will be found in PlayVS on your schedule page midway through the Regular Season.
Due to the length of time for playoffs to take place before finals, Playoff matches may occur on different days of the week than the regular season.
Winning teams may also be required to play multiple times in a week as they progress through the Playoffs.
