Editing Playoffs (section)

====Minor League Baseball====
Most of the domestic [[Minor League Baseball]] (MiLB) leagues which are affiliated with Major League Baseball conduct playoffs after their regular season to determine champions.

Before the 2021 reorganization of MiLB, most leagues at the [[Triple-A (baseball)|Triple-A]], [[Double-A (baseball)|Double-A]], and [[Class A-Advanced]] classification levels included four qualifying teams which competed in two best-of-five rounds: semi-finals and finals. Most [[Class A (baseball)|Class A]], [[Class A Short Season]], and [[Rookie League]] playoffs consisted of two best-of-three rounds. The champions of the two Triple-A leagues, the [[International League]] and [[Pacific Coast League]], met in the [[Triple-A National Championship Game]], a single game to determine an overall champion of the classification.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.milb.com/milb/events/playoffs/y2018/index.jsp|title=2018 Playoffs|website=Minor League Baseball|access-date=February 5, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830045643/http://www.milb.com/milb/events/playoffs/y2018/index.jsp|archive-date=August 30, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In the 2021 season, the first after the reorganization, no MiLB league had more than two teams involved in playoffs, with some leagues not holding a postseason at all.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/tampa-bay-rays-affiliates-dominate-2021-minor-league-baseball-playoff-picture/ |title=Rays Affiliates Dominate 2021 Minor League Playoff Picture |first=J.J. |last=Cooper |website=Baseball America |date=September 20, 2021 |access-date=October 16, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210920155921/https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/tampa-bay-rays-affiliates-dominate-2021-minor-league-baseball-playoff-picture/ |archive-date=September 20, 2021 |url-status=live }}</ref>
* The Rookie leagues, better known as the Complex Leagues (from those leagues being hosted at major-league spring training facilities), did not hold playoffs; the regular-season winners were crowned champions.
* In all Low-A, High-A, and Double-A leagues (three at each level), the top two teams at the end of the regular season advanced to a best-of-five championship series.
* In both Triple-A leagues, the top team at the end of the 120-game regular season was crowned champion. After the regular season, all 30 teams at this level played a 10-game "Final Stretch".
