It happened. All they needed was one win.
Boise. Defeat Oregon = Playoff berth.
Montana. Defeat Seattle = Playoff berth.
Oregon. Defeat Boise AND Montana Loses = Tied for Playoff berth.
Only one of the three clubs met their requirements - the Oregon Trailers. As the name indicates, the Trailers trailed all season long. But the end result is all that matters. Neither Boise or Montana could gain control of second, putting the Bombers, Bears, and Trailers in a three-way draw.

As for the Southwest, the Claim Jumpers needed to beat the Venoms and pray for Nevada's victory over Salt Lake City on the final day. Nevada did their part in defeating SLC 5-4 (completing the sweep), but California did not do theirs, as they fell to Phoenix 2-5, ending their 2000 campaign. The day before, Justin Turner of the Venoms had a noteworthy performance, pitching 10innings in the ND.
