PBL’S TOP FOUR TEAMS TO PARTICIPATE IN POSTSEASON PLAYOFFS
 
The Premier Basketball League has confirmed that the four teams with the best regular-season record will face each other in the postseason.  The teams will be seeded 1-4 in order of their winning percentage, with Team #1 having the best overall regular season record.  Team #1 and Team #4 will play each other in a best-of-three series, with the first game played at Team #4’s home court, and the second and third (if necessary) games played at Team #1’s home court.  The same format will be used for a three-game series between Teams #2 and #3.
 
The winners of the #1-#4 series and the #2-#3 series will face each other in a best-of-three final series, with the first game played at the lower seed’s home court, and the second (and third, if necessary) games played at the higher seed’s home venue.  The winner of that series will be named PBL Playoff Champion and receive a championship trophy commemorating their victory.
 
In the event that two or more teams are tied in terms of playoff seeding, the following tiebreakers will take place, in order of importance:
 
(1) winning percentage;
(2) if still a tie, head-to-head record shall determine the winner;
(3) if still a tie, head-to-head record against common opponents will determine the winner;
(4) if still a tie, points scored in head to head competition will determine the winner;
(5) if still a tie, average margin of victory in head to head competition will determine the winner;
(6) if still a tie, the team correctly calling the flip of a coin will be seeded higher.
