	About the League

(A) Larry Lucas Division
TEAM	W	L	T	PTS	Scored	Allowed
Shennanigans Bar & Grill	16	2	0	32	180	56
Bushwhackers	14	3	0	28	170	72
Boston Beer Garden	9	8	1	19	140	141
Sidewalk Café	9	8	1	19	158	117
Stadium Stingers	9	8	1	19	175	140
Il Giardino Café	6	11	1	13	165	209
Note: The Beer Garden, Sidewalk Cafe, and Stadium ended the season with identical 9-8-1 records. League rules say to use head-to-head records to resolve ties. However, in this case Sidewalk didn't lose to the Stadium but lost both games to the Beer Garden...while the Stadium won both against the Beer Garden. Head-to-head record won't help us initially so we have to use division records as the second tie-breaker. In the Feeney division the Beer Garden is 4-5-1, Sidewalk 3-6-1, and the Stadium 3-6-1. That puts the Beer Garden in third place and leaves Sidewalk and the Stadium tied. Applying head-to-head records, Sidewalk went 1-0-1 against the Stadium which gives them second place.

(B) Buckey Feeney Division
TEAM	W	L	T	PTS	Scored	Allowed
Brewers	12	6	0	24	195	120
Cranberry Café	12	6	0	24	145	126
Murphy's Law	12	6	0	24	190	148
Bulldogs	10	8	0	20	174	159
The Place	10	8	0	20	221	213
Clarke's	7	10	0	14	155	162
L Street Tavern	4	13	0	8	103	205
Blood, Sweat and Beers	3	14	1	7	125	244
Note: the final playoff position in this division was determined by head-to-head records...the Bulldogs beat the Place 15-10 on 5/19/2009. The three way tie with Cranberry, the Brewers, and Murphy's Law was broken based on the Brewers' 6-1 division record. The head-to-head tie-breaker did not work as they all had wins against one another (Cranberry lost to the Brewers but beat Murphys...Murphy's beat the Brewers). Division records show the Brewers at 6-1, followed by Murphy's Law 4-3, and Cranberry (3-4). The tie for second place between Cranberry and Murphy's was broken using head-to-head records as Cranberry beat Murphy's, 10-9 on 6/2/2009.

(C) Sam Moran Division
TEAM	W	L	T	PTS	Scored	Allowed
Below Average Joe's	9	7	0	18	175	167
Slainte	8	10	0	16	190	201
Southie Sox	8	10	0	16	194	221
Dorset Club	7	10	1	15	204	233
Free Agents	6	12	0	12	190	207
Swingers	2	13	0	4	152	261
Note: with 10-8 records, the Southie Sox and Slainte are tied for a playoff position in this division. Using head-to-head records, the teams split the season series 1-1 so we have to look at their division records for the second tie-breaker. In this case, Slainte went 6-6 in the division while Southie Sox went 4-7.

2009 Playoff Format: UPDATED 8/4/2009 - after careful thought and consideration, the league has created a playoff format that seems fair and rewarding for all of our M Street League teams. Fourteen of our twenty teams will qualify for the playoffs.

Six teams will receive a first round bye...they are the top four Lucas Division (A) teams, the Feeney Division winner (B), and the Moran Division winner (C). These teams will be seeded for the quarter-final round as follows:

1. 1A - Shennanigans Bar & Grill
2. 2A - Bushwhackers
3. 3A - Boston Beer Garden
4. 4A - Sidewalk Cafe
5. 1B - Brewers
6. 1C - Below Average Joe's
7. 5A - Stadium
8. 6A - Il Giardino Cafe

The preliminary round will consist of eight teams competing in a single elimination round for the final two playoff positions (see above). 5A vs 4C, 6A vs 3C, 2B vs 2C, 3B vs 4B. The round will continue until there are two teams remaining (note: the highest seed always plays the lowest seed).
