## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does the MLB playoff bracket work?

Twelve teams enter the bracket. Spin the wheel to draw each series matchup, predict or vote on the winner with your group, and advance it until one team lifts the World Series trophy.

### Is this the actual 2026 playoff seeding?

No, the default field is a strong current lineup of contenders, not the official seeded bracket. Edit the list once the real playoff matchups are set.

### Can I edit the teams once the real playoff field is set?

Yes, replace any team in the list with the actual seeded playoff matchups as soon as the regular season ends.

### How is this different from the MLB teams bracket?

The MLB teams bracket includes all 30 current franchises plus two historic teams for a 32 team all time debate. This bracket narrows the field to 12 of the season's strongest playoff contenders.

### Good for a fantasy league or fan group debate?

Perfect for it. Post one matchup a day to your league group chat, or run the whole bracket live during the postseason.
