How division seeding works
This view shows how the playoff field would look if the season ended today. The top three in each division qualify: first place skips the Division Semi-Final and hosts the Division Final, second hosts third. Under the crossover rule a fourth-place team with more points than the other division's third-place team takes that spot and plays in the other division.
