Playoff Procedures

The 2025 campaign will also see the introduction of the DSL Cup, a new playoff format that will see 16 DSL clubs qualify for the two-stage DSL postseason. The eight DSL division winners (based on winning percentage) and the eight teams with the best winning percentage that did not win their division (Wild Card teams) will qualify for the postseason.

In Pool Play, the sixteen teams will be divided into four pools of four teams each and will participate in a round-robin competition.

The team with the best record in each pool will advance to the Championship Bracket, which will consist of two rounds (best-of-three Semifinal and Final Rounds).
