A few corrections about the Cuban National League, at least according to the information I have which is correct up through the 2004-05 season.
The league is divided into two zones of eight teams each, the Occidental and Oriental Zones. Each zone is divided into two groups of four teams; Group A and B are in the Occidental Zone, and Groups C and D are in the Oriental Zone. (Zones are essentially the same thing as conferences and groups are essentially the same thing as divisions.)
The playoffs in each zone consist of the first place finisher of each group plus two wildcard teams, for a total of four playoff qualifiers in each zone. The group winners are seeded #1-#2 and the wildcard teams are seeded #3-#4. The first round pits #1 vs. #4 and #2 vs. #3. The winners of the first round meet to determine the zone champion, and then the champions of each zone then meet for the league title.
