Sorry to hear that, certainly -- I was hoping that the assignment of A, B, and C club status in a 3-way tie was based on real league rules, especially since that seemed to be the case in my 1963 season replay (based, I should say, on my reading of Le Grande Orange's well-presented research on this forum over the years). It is not, however, a tremendous trial to delete the auto-assigned playoffs, and schedule them as one wishes -- unless, as LGO points out, one is speed simming.
Obviously this is something that could be added to the rules that are adjusted on a season-by-season basis in historical leagues, and something that could be added to the league setup options. Given that it is a fairly rare occurrence, that it is easy enough to fix with the schedule editor, that tie breaking series are an issue dating back to OOTP's early days, and that developer time is precious, it is understandable that it has not made it to the fix list yet. Maybe next year!
