Standings
Standings seems to have been calculated from the sum of Regular and Post-Season results.

Play-Offs
It's not entirely clear at this point how the play-offs structure for this season was arrived at. Match-ups are described in more detail within each round. Play-Offs - October 6, 2002 : Teams enjoying 1st and 2nd position enjoyed a break, teams #3 thru #6 matched up with a second chance, and teams #7 thru #10 played single elimination play-offs. Old Glory 11 def Sin 4 BALLISTICS 12 def Watchmen 5 Nightwatch 6 def Iron 4 \Redshift/ 10 def Secret 5 Eliminated - Iron and Secret Play-Offs - October 13, 2002 : The winners of the second-chance play-offs from last round met the rested top teams bearing second-chance tokens, while the losers of those matches played the winners of last round's single-elimination games, again in elimination matches. Symphony 12 def BALLISTICS 2 Blackdragon 4 def Old Glory 3 Nightwatch 11 def Sin 6 \Redshift/ 12 def Watchmen 6 Eliminated - Sin and Watchmen Play-Offs - October 20, 2002 : The above approach was repeated, as the 2 winners from lower down the table met the losers from above them. Instead of enjoying another rest, the top winners met in what proved to be a Finals match. Blackdragon 2 def Symphony 1 Nightwatch 12 def BALLISTICS 9 \Redshift/ 12 def Old Glory 7 Eliminated - BALLISTICS and Old Glory Semi-Final Qualifier - October 27, 2002 : Third place met fourth in order to win the right to challenge the loser of "Finals Match 1". Nightwatch 12 def \Redshift/ 3 Semi-Final - November 2, 2002 : Had Symphony lost the following game, it is likely that the Finals would have restarted as a best-of-three. Symphony 8 def Nightwatch 5 Finals - November 9, 2002 : Note that a match played earlier in the play-offs was counted as Game 1. Game 2 - Symphony 8 def Blackdragon 5 Game 3 - Blackdragon 12 def Symphony 4
