Press release:

From the IBL Competition Committee:
After a ton of dialogue and review, and discussion, it was determined that the 2017 playoff format for the IBL will undergo changes.
Next season there will be a playoff team added, 1 wild card in each league, and the two wild card teams will play a 'win or go home' game after the seasons final day, to determine the wild card champion. The Wild card cannot, in any series, have home field advantage, and will play a best of 5, 1 home 4 4 road games in the Wild Card round of playoffs.

After the past 2 seasons in which the Wild Card was not determined until the end, it was determined that the 'penalty' for not winning your division, nor the 'reward' for doing so, was not enough incentive to keep teams playing competitively until the seasons final game.
