GSFL Playoff Info

2nd-4th Grade – Bowl Game

• All teams will participate in one bowl game on October 10–11.
• If a grade level has an odd number of teams, one team may play two bowl games.
• Matchups will be formed with the goal of creating a competitive and enjoyable matchup to finish the season.
• Matchups will not necessarily be based strictly on standings or rankings. A variety of factors will be considered when determining the most appropriate matchup for each team.

5th-8th Grade – Tiered Playoff 

• All teams will participate in the playoff format.
• Teams will play two playoff games between October 6–11, with the possibility of a third game depending on the final format and number of participating teams.
• We will form as many 4-team divisions as possible at each age level.
• Because some grade levels may not have a number of teams divisible by four, certain tiers may consist of 3, 5, or 6 teams.
• In those situations, teams may have a Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday-Sunday playoff schedule. We recognize that this is not ideal, but it may be unavoidable based on the final number of participating teams and available scheduling options.
• While we will make every effort to provide unique opponents, repeat matchups may be unavoidable in some situations.
