2. Playoffs: Pennant Championship Series
A three-week tournament in which the division champions (seeds #1 thru #4) in each league play
one five game series with each other. In each such individual series, a lower-seeded team hosts
the first two games, while a higher-seeded team hosts the final three games. All five games of
each individual series are played.
If any game is tied after nine full innings, then extra innings will be played until the tie is broken
and one team wins outright.
The team in each league which has the best Pennant Championship Series record (overall wins,
including head-to-head tie-breakers) will advance directly to the World Series.
