Did the wrong team make the playoffs?
After the season ended in 1884 the game has Providence making the playoffs but should they have made it. Chicago had one less loss and a better winning pctg. So what gives Providence the pennant? I could see if they had won more games. Is this correct or is something wrong here.

Weird. Looking at your standings it also says the White Stockings +1/2. Which insinuates they were a 1/2 game ahead not a 1/2 game back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Its a as played schedule but i don't think that would change anything. Except maybe having a team with a better winning pctg but less games beat out a team with more wins. Not the case here. I checked the schedule and there was no 1 game playoff between Providence and Chicago. |

In a way i kinda liked this although it doesn't seem right.
If i was doing a history of my league i would have to think of how this could happen. Cap Anson getting upset and refusing to play i could see happening. You can see some weird stuff in ootp sometimes. Another oddity i noticed in this sim was that Providence had 3 no hitters in 1 year. Two in one season by Radbourn. |

Chicago 81-28 Providence 80-30. So i could see Providence winning based on winning pctg. Problem is that it was not the end of the season. I checked the real schedules and they match. Plus ootp even says the game to sim till end of regular season on October 15th. |

*Not all real-life leagues use winning percentage as the determinant of the order of standings; the Eastern League currently uses games behind, for example. Quote:

For reference, here are the schedule parameters according to the originally published schedules for each league: NL (8 teams): 112 games; May 1 through Oct. 11 AA (12 teams): 110 games; May 1 through Oct. 16 During the AA regular season, Washington dropped out and was replaced by Richmond, which took over Washington's remaining schedule. |

I forgot but i always check the number of games when importing the schedule and use the actual start date. I do import each as played schedule for each league with each league's start date.
