That one is interesting. I had a similar situation, but the two division leaders who played the one-game playoff also had the same record as the top wild card team, not a half game or one game difference like you had. In my situation, the loser of the one-game playoff still had to play the wild card team because I guess there's a real life rule that a team can't win the wild card because another team lost a one-game playoff.
Let me see if I can dig that thread up because there was a good discussion about it. I'm not sure how your situation would have been handled in real life, but I'm sure LGO might know. Maybe there's some rule about a playoff being required if you're separated by only half a game?
