It looks like the playoff is based strictly off last year's regular season Elite division standings.

The top seven teams in order were Hawks, Crabs, True, DCE, MadLax, VLC, and 91.

The next three in order were FCA, Looneys, NextLevel, and the AAA champ was Top Caliber.

So the bottom three, plus TC, are playing a four-way play-in with seedings 1 v 4 and 2 v 3.

Sounds pretty logical and fair, no?
