West Coast League Playoff Procedures

\n

Playoff Procedures 2023

\n

The 2023 season shall consist of two halves of 27 scheduled League games for each West Coast League member team. Eight teams – four from each of the two divisions – will qualify for the postseason. The four qualifiers in each division will be the first-half winner, the second-half winner, and the two teams in the division with the best overall records who did not win the first or second half (or otherwise qualify). Please track the 2023 West Coast League standings during the season, and see below for detailed postseason procedures.

\n

First Half
\nWinners of the first half in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs, with winners determined by overall winning percentage in officially scheduled League games.

\n

Every effort shall be made to play all games scheduled in the first half before the completion of the first half (the first half is considered complete for a team immediately prior to the date on which it\u2019s originally scheduled to play its 28th official League game).

\n

\u2013 In the event that a game scheduled in the first half cannot be completed until the second half, that game or games will count in the second-half standings.

\n

\u2013 In the event of a first-half tie between two or more teams:

\n

Tiebreaker #1: best head-to-head record (minimum of 3 games), determined by winning percentage, among all tied teams;

\n

Tiebreaker #2: best head-to-head run differential;

\n

Note: In the event of head-to-head records including first-half games for one team and second-half games for another, those games will count as first-half games for first-half head-to-head tiebreaking purposes.

\n

Note: In the event that more than two teams are tied, \u201chead-to-head\u201d records for each team will consist of that team\u2019s record within the entire tied group of teams. This applies to all tiebreakers that involve head-to-head results. Example: If Teams A, B, and C are tied, consider Team A\u2019s overall record vs. Teams B and C; Team B\u2019s record vs. Teams A and C; and Team C\u2019s record vs. Teams A and B. If two teams are tied for the best head-to-head record within the group, then the third team is eliminated, and two-team tiebreakers are implemented, beginning with Tiebreaker #1.

\n

\u2013 In the event of a further tie or no head-to-head games,

\n

Tiebreaker #3: best run differential against all WCL opponents through first half (according to schedule calendar);

\n

Tiebreaker #4: best home win-loss winning percentage through first-half games (according to schedule calendar);

\n

Tiebreaker #5: coin flip.

\n

Second Half
\nThe team with the best winning percentage in the second half of the season, as originally scheduled, wins the second half (which could include more than 27 games if rescheduled game(s) from first half is/are played during the second half of season).

\n

\u2013 If the team that won the first half also wins (outright) the second half, the remaining team in the division with the best winning percentage over the full season qualifies for playoffs as a wild card and #2 seed in divisional playoffs.

\n

\u2013 If the team that won the first half finishes the second half tied for first place (by winning percentage), and that team is tied with only one team, the latter team qualifies for playoffs as second-half winner.

\n

\u2013 If the immediately preceding paragraph does not apply and there is a tie for second playoff spot between two or more teams tied with best overall record OR tied for the second-half lead (as determined by winning percentage), the following tiebreakers apply:

\n

Tiebreaker #1: best head-to-head record over the course of the entire season (not just the second half)

\n

Note: In the event that more than two teams (not including the first-half winner) are tied, \u201chead-to-head\u201d records for each team will consist of that team\u2019s record within the entire tied group of teams. This applies to all tiebreakers involving head-to-head results. Example: If Teams A, B, and C are tied, consider Team A\u2019s overall record vs. Teams B and C; Team B\u2019s record vs. Teams A and C; and Team C\u2019s record vs. Teams A and B.

\n

Note: If multiple teams are tied for the best head-to-head record within the group, remaining team or teams are eliminated before returning to Tiebreaker #1.

\n

Note: If the team that won the first half is among the teams tied for the best second-half record, then that team is not considered for head-to-head tiebreaking purposes. In the first Note above, if Team C was the first-half winner, then head-to-head results are exclusively between Team A and B.

\n

Tiebreaker #2: best full-season record against the team that won the first half

\n

Tiebreaker #3: best run differential against divisional opponents over entire season

\n

Tiebreaker #4: best home win-loss record for the entire season

\n

Tiebreaker #5: coin flip

\n

In each division, two additional teams shall qualify as wild card playoff teams. These shall be the teams with the best overall, full-season winning percentages that did not qualify as first-half winner, second-half winner, or (if the same team wins the first and second half) second postseason qualifier. In the event of a tie for wild card positions, the second-half tiebreakers shall apply. The top-qualifying wild card team in each division shall be the #3 seed and the second wild card team shall be the #4 seed.

\n

PLAYOFF SCHEDULE

\n

WCL Divisional Series: Playoffs start the second full off-day following the last scheduled regular-season game of the WCL schedule.

\n

Format for opening Divisional Series round is Best of 3, with two Game 1\u2019s in each division hosted by the third and fourth postseason qualifiers, and Games 2 and (if necessary) 3 hosted by the first-half qualifier (#1 seed) and second-half qualifier (#2 seed). In the Opening Round, #1 and #4 seeds meet, and #2 and #3 seeds.

\n

There are no scheduled off-days during the WCL Divisional Series. Opening round matchups and sites may be adjusted by the League, based on extraordinary circumstances including potential travel difficulties and site availability.

\n

WCL Divisional Championship Game: Following the Opening Round, the winner of each series with the higher full-season winning percentage will host a single Divisional Championship Game. The date of the Divisional Championship Game will be determined by the League, in consultation with participating teams.

\n

WCL Championship Game: Following the Divisional Series Games, the winner with the higher full-season winning percentage will host a single League Championship Game. The date of the League Championship Game will be determined by the League, in conjunction with participating teams.

\n

Tiebreakers for Divisional and League Championship Game seeding
\nIn the event that both teams in a Divisional or League Championship Game finished with identical full-season records, the following tiebreakers shall be applied to determine higher seed/host team:

\n

Tiebreaker #1 \u2013 full-season divisional record

\n

Tiebreaker #2 \u2013 full-season run differential in all WCL games

\n

Tiebreaker #3 \u2013 coin flip

The West Coast Conference baseball tournament is the conference baseball championship of the Division I West Coast Conference. As begun in 2013, the top four finishers in the regular season of the league's ten teams participate in the double-elimination tournament held at Banner Island Ballpark in Stockton, California. The winner of the event earns the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.[1]\n

\n\n

History[edit]

\n

The West Coast Conference was one of the few college baseball leagues not to conduct a postseason championship event until dividing into two divisions in 1999. From that year through 2009, the league held a best of three game championship series between the two division winners. Division play was abolished following the 2005 season, but the championship series continued with the top two finishers in the conference participating. After 2009, the championship series was also discontinued. However, in 2013, the league established a four team, double-elimination event at a neutral site. This was the first time in baseball that more than two teams participated in a postseason conference championship event and the first time any conference championship event is held at a neutral site.[1]\n

The West Coast Conference men's basketball tournament is the annual concluding tournament for the NCAA college basketball in the West Coast Conference (WCC). The winner of the tournament each year is guaranteed a place in the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament for that season. Through 2008, the tournament was played on a rotating basis at the home courts of member teams. The 2009 edition was the first played at a neutral site, namely Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada, just outside Las Vegas. The semifinals are broadcast nationally on ESPN2 and the championship is broadcast nationally on ESPN.\n

The tournament has used several formats in its history, though seeding in all formats has been based strictly on conference record (with tiebreakers used as needed). When the tournament began in 1987, when the conference had eight members, it used a standard single-elimination bracket that was reseeded after the first round so that the highest and lowest remaining seeds played one another in the semifinals. Beginning in 2003, the bottom four seeds played first-round games (5 vs. 8, 6 vs. 7), with the 3 and 4 seeds receiving byes to the quarterfinals and the top two seeds receiving byes to the semifinals. For the 2012 tournament, the first after the 2011 arrival of BYU in the WCC, this format was adjusted so that the 8 and 9 seeds played in the first round, with the winner joining the 5 through 7 seeds in the second round, and the top four seeds continuing to receive byes into the quarterfinals (3 and 4) or semifinals (1 and 2). In addition, reseeding was abolished, with the top seed automatically playing the winner of the quarterfinal game featuring the 4 seed and the 2 seed automatically playing the winner of the quarterfinal game featuring the 3 seed.\n

Beginning in 2014, the WCC adopted a new format to incorporate a tenth team (Pacific). The new format is a traditional 10-team tournament. Seeds 1-6 received a bye into the quarterfinals while 7 played 10 and 8 played 9 in the first round. The second round featured the winner of the 7/10 match playing the 2-seed while the winner of the 8/9 match played the 1 seed. The 3 seed played the 6 seed and the 4 seed played the 5 seed. In 2014, the first-round games aired on BYUtv Sports. The afternoon quarterfinal games aired on BYUtv, and the evening quarterfinals were on ESPN2. One semifinal aired on ESPN and the other on ESPN2, and the championship game was carried by ESPN.\n

For 2019 and beyond, the tournament returned to a format similar to that used from 2003\u20132011, with slight changes to the terminology used for the rounds prior to the semifinals. The 7 through 10 seeds play in what is now called the \"opening round\", the 5 and 6 seeds start play in the \"second round\", and the 3 and 4 seeds start in the \"third round\". The top two seeds receive byes into the semifinals.[1] According to media reports, the major impetus for this and other changes to WCC basketball was the potential loss of Gonzaga to the Mountain West Conference after the 2017\u201318 season, which in the end did not happen.[2]\n

History[edit]

\n

The West Coast Conference was one of the few college baseball leagues not to conduct a postseason championship event until dividing into two divisions in 1999. From that year through 2009, the league held a best of three game championship series between the two division winners. Division play was abolished following the 2005 season, but the championship series continued with the top two finishers in the conference participating. After 2009, the championship series was also discontinued. However, in 2013, the league established a four team, double-elimination event at a neutral site. This was the first time in baseball that more than two teams participated in a postseason conference championship event and the first time any conference championship event is held at a neutral site.[1]\n

The NBA was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).At the end of the playoffs, the top two teams play each other in the conference finals, to determine the Conference Champions from each side, who then proceed to play in the NBA Finals. Trophies were given to each conference winner starting in 2001. In 2022, they named them the Bob Cousy Trophy for the Eastern Conference and the Oscar Robertson Trophy for the Western Conference. The NBA first started awarding conference championship trophies in 2001. In 2022, both were redesigned, with the Eastern and Western Conference trophies being renamed after Bob Cousy and Oscar Robertson, respectively, who were instrumental in developing and advancing the players' labor union, the National Basketball Players Association. In that same year, the NBA began awarding Conference Finals MVPs to the best performing player of each Conference Finals: the Larry Bird Eastern Conference finals Most Valuable Player Award and the Magic Johnson Western Conference finals Most Valuable Player Award, named for the two players credited for building the league up to greater popularity in the 1980s. The MVP trophies follow a design similar to that of the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy, only the ball on each trophy will be silver and would be smaller versions of the Conference Championship trophies in how they sit on the base.", + "page_result": "\n\n\n\nNBA conference finals - Wikipedia\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJump to content\n

The NBA conference finals are the Eastern and Western championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA), a major professional basketball league in North America. The NBA was founded in 1946 as the Basketball Association of America (BAA).[1] The NBA adopted its current name at the start of the 1949\u201350 season when the BAA merged with the National Basketball League (NBL).[2] The league currently consists of 30 teams, of which 29 are located in the United States and 1 in Canada. Each team plays 82 games in the regular season.[A] After the regular season, eight teams from each of the league's two conferences qualify for the playoffs. At the end of the playoffs, the top two teams play each other in the conference finals, to determine the Conference Champions from each side, who then proceed to play in the NBA Finals. Trophies were given to each conference winner starting in 2001. In 2022, they named them the Bob Cousy Trophy for the Eastern Conference and the Oscar Robertson Trophy for the Western Conference. Also that year, the league started naming an NBA conference finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) for each conference.[3]\n

\n\n

Overview[edit]

\n

Initially, the BAA teams were aligned into two divisions, the Eastern Division and the Western Division. The Divisional Finals were first played in 1949, the league's third season. The first two seasons used a playoffs format where Eastern and Western Division teams would face each other before the BAA Finals, hence there were no divisional finals. In the 1949\u201350 season, the league realigned itself to three divisions, with the addition of the Central Division. However, the arrangement was only used for one season and the league went back into two divisions format in 1951. The two divisions format remained until 1970, when the NBA realigned itself into two conferences with two divisions each, which led to the renaming to Conference finals. \n

The finals was a best-of-3 series from 1949 to 1950, a best-of-5 series from 1951 to 1956, and a best-of-7 series since 1957. Currently, the conference finals are played in a best-of-7 series like the NBA playoffs and Finals. The two series are played in late May each year after the first and second rounds of the Playoffs and before the Finals. At the conclusion of the conference finals, winners are presented with a silver trophy, caps, and T-shirts, and advance to the NBA Finals. The trophies have a slightly different base for each conference to help distinguish one from the other; the silver basketball on the Eastern Conference trophy sits on three pegs, while the Western Conference trophy has the basketball sitting on intercrossing circular rings.\n

The Los Angeles Lakers have won the most conference titles with 19. They have also made 23 appearances in the conference finals, more than any other team. The Boston Celtics have won 10 Conference titles, the second most of any team. Twenty-two of the 30 active franchises have won at least one conference title. The Minnesota Timberwolves, Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers have each played in at least one Conference finals (Atlanta and Sacramento have played in two), but they have each failed to win their respective conference title. Two other franchises, the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans, have never appeared in the conference finals.\n

\n

Conference trophies[edit]

\n

The NBA first started awarding conference championship trophies in 2001.[4] In 2022, both were redesigned, with the Eastern and Western Conference trophies being renamed after Bob Cousy and Oscar Robertson, respectively, who were instrumental in developing and advancing the players' labor union, the National Basketball Players Association. The two redesigned trophies each feature a silver basketball with its respective conference finals logo on the underside. The silver basketball is quartered into four sections, representing the winning team first qualifying for the playoffs and then advancing through the three playoff rounds. In that same year, the NBA began awarding Conference Finals MVPs to the best performing player of each Conference Finals: the Larry Bird Eastern Conference finals Most Valuable Player Award and the Magic Johnson Western Conference finals Most Valuable Player Award, named for the two players credited for building the league up to greater popularity in the 1980s. The MVP trophies follow a design similar to that of the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP trophy, only the ball on each trophy will be silver and would be smaller versions of the Conference Championship trophies in how they sit on the base.[5]\n
