1 Vs. 8

4 Vs. 5
Semifinal Winners
3 Vs. 6
Winners of 3-6/2-7
2 Vs. 7




Though, I did have one thought that it might be a tad unfair to only take the division winners as some team might come in second in their division and finish with like the 3rd most overall wins. I think possibly taking four wild card teams would make it better, giving then the Top 4 seeds first round byes ala a lot of the NCAA Basketball Conference Tourneys such as the Big 12. Just a thought.
I went with a best of 9 because of the 3 man rotation, if it goes the full series then each team will use their top three guys 3 times.

Yes, I will seed them exactly as you have shown.

You make a good point as far maybe taking the division winners might end up being unfair. Perhaps I should just take the top 4 from each league. I really wanted to limit the final bracket to 8. As far as it goes, if I go to 16 the 17th team will have just missed. So it really doesn't matter what I end up going with, a team or two will end up just missing the final bracket. Plus I didn't really want to see a #16 team with a record of ~80-82 getting into the final field.
