At the moment, as we are a couple of hours away from final regular-season games, there do not appear to be any that will be needed. But that could change — check back here, tonight.

Usually, teams play other league teams three times, so you get the best-of-three results to break ties in the final standings. We have some seven-team leagues this year — Century and Empire — and in the Century today the standings are: 1. Esperanza (8-3 league); 2. Foothill (7-4); and all at 3. are Canyon (6-5), El Modena (6-5) and Villa Park (6-5). Today, Foothill is at Esperanza, El Dorado (out of the playoffs) at Canyon, and Villa Park at El Mo.

Canyon coach Joe Hoggatt said the way it all works — and it is semi-complicated — there will be no need for a Friday playoff game. League playoff games can only be played if they determine who goes and does not go to the playoffs, and not for determining which team is the league’s No. 1 playoff representative, the No. 2 team, etc.

Playoff brackets will be here at ocvarsity.com on Monday, the day of release.
