1. Create Post Season Groups – Similar to setting up regular season divisions, create a PS Group for every playoff competition that you require (ex: “A Division Playoffs”, “Premier Cup Championship” or “Division B Shield (Consolation)”.
2. Manage Eligibility (Optional) – DartConnect’s “Eligibility” tool helps you quickly identify which teams/players are allowed to play based on your league’s participation requirements.
3. Confirm Eligible Teams/Players – Check and confirm the teams/players that qualify for Post Season playoffs.
   If using Manual Match Setup, after this step, you are ready to begin your post-season!
   If using the Live Bracket or Match Scheduler options, you must continue with the following additional steps:
4. Create PS Matches – Create a knockout bracket or match schedule for each PS Group.  Instructions:  Live Bracket | PS Match Scheduler
5. Run Optional Venue Report  (For Match Scheduler Option Only) – Identify and manage match schedule conflicts
6. Send Player Notifications – Send email notifications to players with Post Season information, including an option for a custom message with your league’s specific details and announcements.
