          The 2020 Benchwarmer League Tournament - Perfect World League
          First Round - Round of 16
          In the 2020 season shortened by the Covid-19 pandemic, BWB is 
		  restructuring the league playoffs to include all 16 teams in the 
		  league.  Division winners are given the top 4 seeding spots and 
		  the remainder of the field is ranked 5-16 based on winning percentage 
		  during the 2020 regular season.  The 8 teams that win series in 
		  this round will move on to the league 
		  quarterfinals. 
				  
				For just this first round, as a reward for winning their divisions, the four division winners begin the series with a 1-0 lead. They only need to win 3 games to advance, while their opponents will need to win 4. 
				  
				The eight teams that lose in round one will move to the 
				Bottom 
				Feeder Open - where, for one year only, the winner will have the 
				top spot in the 2020-2021 off-season transaction order, 
				including for the Redistribution Draft.  In the 
				quarterfinals, the four winning teams will move on to what in 
				normal seasons are the conference championships and the league 
				final.  The four losing teams will move on to the
				Gore Cup.
