Playoffs update

The plan has always been to have it be a 12 week season, so the playoffs are right around the corner.

For this edition of the playoffs, everyone will make it in, and be seeded according to the regular season standings. This will likely result in a bye week in the opening round for the top 2 or 3 players in the standings.

The playoffs will remain a lose and go home knockout tournament, cause when it's all said and done "There can be only one!"

Next season, I will likely impose a cutoff on the number of players that make the playoffs, with that number to be determined based on the number of participants.
