1915 IPA Hall of Fame

[jg2977]

I'm really loving the IPA with every team making the playoffs and 6 rounds of short best-of-3 series. There is intense drama in every single playoff game. I look forward to doing many seasons of this.

The MLB still feels like very few teams should make the playoffs. Only the best should qualify. So the MLB postseason will stay with 8 total teams with 3 rounds of best-of-7. I may eventually add a couple of extra wild card teams where the #5 seed plays the #4 in a one-game playoff, but that will be when the league expands, in a few seasons.

1915 Final Standings

The past two IPA champions are the #1 seeds in their respective leagues. Last year's champion, Fort Benton, sits atop the Ruthlandian Union standings. The 1913 champion Turon in the Tycobbian Union is looking to get back to the promised land and win another Islandian National Championship.

Last year's surprise Pro Cup finalist, the Ozarka Naturals, proved that their run through the TU bracket was not a fluke, posting a respectable 88-74 mark, good for the #9 seed in 1915.
