PLAYOFFS

In the playoffs, you can watch your team and others as they progress toward the championship.

Clicking on the final score of any played game will take you to the Games Screen, including a statistical game summary and access to a written play-by-play report.

Football Mogul will always pause at the playoffs for every year to allow you to view your team or set it up for the post season.

Determining Playoff Teams

The top six teams from each conference are selected for the playoffs. This includes all division winners, plus either two wild-card teams (if the conference has four divisions, such as for the year 2002 and later) or three wild-card teams (if the conference has only three divisions).

The team's regular season record is used to determine whether the team earns a playoff spot and/or home-field advantage. Ties are broken as follows:

For the division title:

• Head-to-head record
• Division record
• Conference record
• Record in common games

For wild-card spots:

• Head-to-head record
• Division record
• Conference record
• Record in common games
• Points scored in conference games
