2010 NECBL playoffs

The 2010 NECBL playoffs was the postseason tournament of the New England Collegiate Baseball League for the 2010 season. It consisted of eight teams competing in three rounds of best-of-three series. In the championship round, the Eastern Division North Shore Navigators defeated the Western Division Danbury Westerners 2 games to 1.

Format

The 2010 NECBL playoffs consisted of three rounds, a Division Semifinal, Division Final, and Championship Series. Competing teams consisted of the four best-record teams from both the West Division and the East Division. These teams were seeded #1 through #4 according to their regular season record. In each division, the #1 seed played the #4 seed and the #2 seed played the #3 seed in the Division Semifinal round. The two winners of these series advanced to the Division Finals. The winner of the round captured the Division Championship, one for both the East and West divisions. The two division champions faced each other in the Championship Series to decide the NECBL champion. All rounds consisted of a best-of-three series in which the first game and third game (if necessary) of each series were played at the higher seed's home field and the second game was played at the lower seed's home field. If identically seeded teams from opposite divisions met in the Championship Series the NECBL tiebreaker rules would be utilized.[1]
