Playoff Scenarios

So...The American Association has sent out an email describing the postseason scenarios...Below is the nuts and bolts...Let me put it this way...Let's take care of our end of things so the RailCats don't end up having to reach this point...

If St. Paul, Wichita and Gary finish with the same winning percentage, Gary will play at Wichita on Wednesday August 31 to determine the Central Division Champion. Winner will play @ Grand Prairie on Thursday September 1 for the first round playoffs. St. Paul would be the wild card and play at Winnipeg on September 1.

If Wichita wins the Central Division and St. Paul and Gary finish with the same winning percentage, St. Paul will play at Gary (due to travel) on Wednesday August 31 to determine the wild card. Winner plays @ Winnipeg on September 1. Wichita would play Grand Prairie beginning September 1.

Article VII, Section 1: "If two teams finish the season with the same winning percentage, a one-game playoff shall be held the day after the regular season at the site of the team with the best percentage against the opponent, unless the president declares one site more appropriate.”
