Historical note: most of the time the Shaughnessy playoff format matched 1st vs. 4th and 2nd vs. 3rd in the first round, but not all. Some leagues used a 1st vs. 3rd and 2nd vs. 4th matchup for the first round. The Shaughnessy playoff format was very popular in earlier years. In 1950, for example, of the 59 minor leagues which operated that year, 55 of them used the Shaughnessy playoff format.
Thanks LGO.

I didn't know you could do it that way.

I read the manual and couldn't figure it out on my own.
