In the division series, the winner of the wild-card game will always face whichever division champion has the best record.

Also, divisions need to be roughly equal in size to ensure that each team has an equal chance of becoming division champion.

In this case the two teams in the same division play a one game playoff, with the winner declared the division champion.

Each division champion receives a championship plaque for their season and, along with two wildcard clubs, compete for the championship title.

With the former, which he represented in two different spells, he was always crowned top division champion.
