New Podcast- Nov. 2

PODCAST: New SacPreps Podcast every Thursday

Updated Nov. 2, 5:15 p.m.

In order to earn an at-large bid you need to have a minimum of two league wins. And at-large teams will be selected solely on the basis of regular season victories if they meet the two league-win minimum.

As a reminder, all league winners and runner-up teams will get automatic berths. The Delta and SFL get three automatic births.

In addition, seven leagues will get an extra automatic spot in the playoffs. The seven leagues are the VOL, SFL, Delta, PVL, TCC, TVL and MLL.

Each league champion must play at or above the level of its league competition.
