Right before playoffs, a determination will be made on which division has 8 teams.  For the team ranked 8th, they will be placed in the division where it's record is most aligned.

• Total Wins/Losses - Cumulative team wins/losses
• Differential - shown when 3 teams in a tier are tied for latest week (highest differential moves up, lowest moves down)

• The last night (Dec 16) will be the finals, where we break teams into 2 divisions (top 7/8 teams in A, and lower 7/8 teams in B) and have a 7 or 8 team double-elimination bracket for each.  All teams are in a bracket, and seeded by their Total Points!  1st and 2nd place teams in each division will split the pool at 75/25%. (NOTE: if a true A Division team drops to B Division due to forfeits/subs, they will be kept in the A Division.  

• Subs ARE allowed BUT...sub must have a lower DUPR, AND as we know, DUPR can be inaccurate so player must also be considered by the league to be less skilled than the replaced player!

Divisions:         

• Two divisions, A and B
• Initially ranked by Team DUPR, then on-going record via ladder format
