League Champions and Post-Season Play


Note: Through 1985, league champions met in best-of-3 series (except 1958 and 1959, when it was a single game). From 1986 to 1993, each league was split into two three-team divisions. Divisional winners played best-of-3, and survivors met in one-game final. From 1994 to 2016, top 3 teams in each league (plus ties, indicated by 3t, from 1994 to 2010) qualified for single-elimination playoffs. In 1994 only, final was best-of-3. Starting in 2017, league champions and two wild cards (best records regardless of league) qualified for single-elimination playoffs.
