Each league is divided into 2 sub-leagues. Each sub-league is then divided into 3 divisions, for a total of 6 divisions with 5 teams each.
You'll play most of the other teams, but you'll play teams in your division more.
If you win your division, you make the league playoffs. In each sub-league, the 2 teams with the best records that don't win their division face each other in the Wild Card game. The winner of those games advances to the Division series, facing the team with the best record in their sub-league.
The winners of each division series for a sub-league then face each other in the sub-league series. The winners of the sub-league series then face off for the league championship.
Generally, the teams with the worst 6 records in the league as a whole are relegated back down a level. The teams with the best records (pending playoff outcomes) are graduated to the next level. The middle teams will join another league of the same level.
The division and sub-league names are modeled on Major League Baseball's setup, but assignment to a division and league is random.
