Season format
No changes were made to the league's makeup from the prior season, with the same 10 teams competing.[2] Each team is scheduled to play 144 games, via facing every other team 16 times.[3]
The league announced some operational changes:[4]
- If two teams are tied for the final playoff spot (5th place), the teams will play a single-game tiebreaker.
- If more than two teams are tied for the final playoff spot, mathematical tiebreakers will be used.
- The number of replay review officials used by the league was increased from three to five (one per game).
- Games will only be canceled (such as due to COVID-19 effects) if a team is unable to dress 28 players.
Additionally, some temporary measures used during the prior season, such as not playing extra innings, were discontinued.[4]
