Here's What They're Saying About AutoPlayoff

Very Powerful, Very Detailed, Very Easy To Use

Use With Actual Leagues, Leagues You Create, Or AutoMerged Leagues

Like all other Cactus League products, AutoPlayoff was designed with attention to detail (It even shows you the tie-breaker rules that were applied in each situation), yet is incredibly easy to use. You can quickly setup and play the actual playoffs for any Cactus League Professional Basketball Team Disk that you own, using the same seedings, matchups and playoff configuration that was used in real-life. Or, replay the season and let AutoPlayoff calculate the seedings and matchups from your replay. You can even use AutoPlayoff with leagues you create from scratch.

It's All In The Brackets

AutoPlayoff displays the brackets graphically so you can see the matchups and your playoff's progress. Even though each season's AutoPlayoff Configuration sets up the matchups the way they were in real-life, you can change them to anything you want. Don't want the #1 seed to play the #8 seed? You can change it. Use your imagination to set up your playoffs your way.

The brackets update as each series is finished so you are always up-to-the-minute:

The Home-Court Advantage

Each season's AutoPlayoff Configuration includes the length of each round and the location of each game based upon the actual rules used in that season. But, you can change the length of any series and the location of each game with just a couple of mouse clicks. Want to make the 1st Round of the 1961-62 season a "best of 7" series? You can do it. Want to play the 2001-02 playoffs using the playoff configuration from 1955-56, when there were only 6 teams in the playoffs? You can do it. Use your imagination to set up your playoffs your way. Or, play it the way it was played in real-life.

On Schedule

The Schedule Tab shows you the playoff schedule and is updated with the scores as each game is played. This tab also shows you which games are scheduled to be played manually and the current series status.

The Seedings

Each conference's seedings is displayed in this tab, including each team, its seed and won/loss record. Like all other aspects of AutoPlayoff, this is totally customizable. You want the Memphis Grizzlies to be the #1 seed in the West? Just drag Memphis, drop it on the Kings and you are all set! Of course, Memphis still won't be a good team (unless you make changes with AutoEdit!), but they WILL be a #1 seed.

Ties Are Broken

The tie-breaker rules that were in effect for each season are used by AutoPlayoff when calculating the seedings and matchups for your league. For those of you that want to know the "whys" of tie-breaking, click the "Tie Breakers" tab to see something like this: Here are the specific rules in the order they were applied:

Simpler Times

AutoPlayoff is designed for every season. Playoff structures and rules changed over the years. Here is the bracket from 1961-62, when the conference champions received a "bye." Only 6 teams made the playoffs back then, compared with 16 today.

Want To Coach?

Just like the AutoSchedule Module, you can choose to play certain games manually or coach your favorite team all the way through the playoffs.
