Except for divisions which begin play in the quarter finals round. The open division will be seeded without regard to league affiliation. If a league champion is not seeded into the playoffs, the champion will host a play-in game versus the lowestseeded team in that division.

League champions will host 1st round games unless playing a higher seeded league champion or playing a team seeded #1-#4 or league champion has hosted a play-in game.
