Each conference has 8 participants, based on record. The top three records, regardless of division status, get a first round bye. However, in the event of a tied record (ie, both at 60-36), the tie goes to a division winner, regardless of tiebreak average. If both records are tied, and both are division winners, the lower tiebreak average gets the higher seed.
Wild Card Weekend--The remaining five per conference compete in Wild Card Weekend. Out of the five, the best TWO records from each conference during the weekend advance to the Divisional Playoffs. Tiebreak scores determine the winners between the same record, but if the TB is equal (ie, one person picks 48, the next picks 52, the final points scored is 50, leaving both off 2 points) the tie then goes to the higher seed.
Divisional Weekend--The two survivors of WCW join the 3 top seeds in the next round in each conference. Again, the top TWO records advance to the DFC Final Four. Tiebreak scores are in done in the same manner as WCW.
Final Four--This is one-on-one battle per conference to determine the two finalists. Each will be given the 8 games, and two tiebreak scores. The first will be the determining tiebreaker used, unless there is a tie in the "tiebreaker", in which it will defer to the next one.
Deuce Bowl IX--Finally. The chance to have your name engraved on the Brooke DeRamus Championship Plate as DFC Champion. Yes, it does exist. Yes, there are 8 names on it now.
The Deuce Bowl will be held later in December, after a few weeks, when the bowl season picks up, to avoid having straight NFL games. If by chance Yours Truly makes the Deuce Bowl, a pool of three--Chris "Wookiee Fulaytar", Michael Nipp and Matt Halpert--will determine the games that will decide the DFC Champion. If Yours Truly falls in battle before such time, I'll do the games.
Eight games, two tiebreakers, best record wins the DFC Championship.
