ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE PLAYOFFS

THREE PLAYOFF ROUNDS
QUARTERFINAL ROUND; EIGHT TEAMS (July 29-30)
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP; FOUR TEAMS (August 5-6)
ARENA BOWL XXIV; TWO TEAMS (August 12)

Eight teams qualify for the playoffs, four from each conference (American and National). The four qualifying teams in each conference consist of the two division champions and two Wild Cards, determined by best overall record. Seeding in each conference is based on overall record, with the top two seeds in each conference reserved for the division champions, regardless of record. In the First Round (July 29-30), the first two seeds in each conference are the two division winners. The next two teams are seeded by next best two overall records. Teams ranked 1 and 2 earn home playoff games with 1 hosting 4 and 2 hosting 3. In the Second Round (August 5-6), the winner of the 1-4 game plays the winner of the 2-3 game. The home team is decided by the team with the higher seed. The winners of the Second Round will face off in the 2010 ArenaBowl on the weekend of August 12 at the home venue of the higher seeded team.
