Editing Playoffs (section)

==Cricket==
There are a number of [[T20 leagues]] played in [[cricket]] for a few weeks each in many countries, which all generally follow some variation of the [[Page playoff system]], and have 8 teams.

===Indian Premier League===
{{Main|IPL playoffs}}

The [[Indian Premier League]] is the largest T20 league, and uses the Page playoff format: the top two teams in the group stage play a semi-final, and the third and fourth-place teams play an eliminator match, to determine which will remain in contention for the final. The two remaining teams that have not yet qualified for the final among the top four teams then play a second semi-final, and then the final occurs.

=== The Hundred ===
{{Main|The Hundred (cricket)#Tournament structure}}
[[The Hundred (cricket)|The Hundred]] is an English [[100-ball cricket]] tournament. The top three teams from the 8-team group stage advance to the playoffs, with the winner of a semi-final between the second and third-placed teams facing the table-toppers in the final.

===Minor League Cricket===
{{Main|Minor League Cricket#League structure}}
[[Minor League Cricket]] (MiLC) features 27 American teams split into the Pacific and Atlantic conferences, each of which is split into two regional divisions. The top two teams from each division advance to the Quarterfinals, with the final contested by one team from each conference. The Quarterfinal is unique in that it is a [[best-of-three series]], and that it sees the top team from one division playing the second-placed team from the other division of their conference; this offers teams an incentive to finish as high as possible in the league stage so as to draw an easier matchup in the Quarterfinals.
