BURLINGTON, ON
The InterCounty Baseball League got shaken up yesterday when the Guelph Royals decided that a 1 for 24 record was so bad that the team had to cease operations for the rest of the 2017 season
That decision meant the playoff schedule needed a new format which will be as follows:
First-place team gets a bye;
2 vs. 7;
3 vs. 6;
4 vs. 5
in best-of-seven quarter-finals.
Teams are re-seeded and the pennant winner plays the lowest survivor.
Two middle finishing survivors play in best-of-seven semifinals, followed by a best-of-seven final.
