Mark Haley reminded the players of the playoff scenarios on the bus last night, and that reminded me that I should probably remind all of the fans how it works as well.
Two teams from each division qualify per half. Obviously, the same two teams can't qualify twice, so you take the first half qualifiers out of the mix for the second half.
With Great Lakes and Lake County qualifying for the playoffs in the first half from the Eastern Division, it doesn't matter where they finish in the second half. The top two of the remaining six teams will qualify in the second half.
So the fact that the Silver Hawks are seven games back of the Loons right now doesn't matter. They are only one game behind some of the other playoff eligible teams (Bowling Green, Fort Wayne, Lansing) and South Bend is still ahead of Dayton and West Michigan.
Hopefully this makes sense. As we get a little closer to the end of the half, I'll start posting daily playoff race updates like I did at the end of the first half.
