NOTE: - HOME ADVANTAGE - The team with the highest season point total WILL HAVE THE HOME ADVANTAGE for the FIRST MATCH of the two match play-off round. For the championship round, match one, the Monday Champion will have the home advantage, match two - the Tuesday Champion will have the home advantage, the third match of this round WILL BE PLAYED at a NEUTRAL bar selected from the current bar list by the team captains involved. The team with the HOME ADVANTAGE for the third match of the Championship round WILL BE the team that is AHEAD after the first two matches. Should there be a 20-20 tie going into match 3, the toss of the coin will decide it.

NOTE: - TIES - In the event that more than one team ends the season with the same point total (tied) then the team in the higher division will be placed first. If the teams are in the same division then the team with the best win-loss-tie (W-L-T) record will be placed first. In the event that there is still a tie the team who scored the highest total points in the two matches they played against each other will be placed first. In the event that a tie still exists then the Association will place the teams.  In the event this is a tie for  FOURTH place (or second place in a four team division) then a five person 1001 double on - double out match will be played at the location of the first round opponent.  This tie breaker will be played at 7 PM on the night that the first round of the playoffs starts.  The winner will then stay and play the first match of round one.  The start of the game will be decided by the toss of a coin.
