We will try to update this article every night after games have been played, remember this is "IF the playoffs started today" these will be the games you will see. The lower table is basic, if your team is still alive, it will be in the "still alive" category, if your team has been eliminated, you will be in the "eliminated" category! I hope you all enjoy!

During the regular season, the seeds reflect how the playoffs would stand if the season ended up to that point. The MOF playoffs are not based on a pure bracket system. In the divisional playoffs, the No. 1 seed is assured of playing the lowest-seeded Wild Card survivor. There are no restrictions on intra-division games and the higher seed of any matchup will have home-field advantage.
