The Playoffs: What We Know Right Now

Everyone,
I write because I've been getting questions about post-season play. Here's what I know:
The Braves can finish no lower than fifth place in the 10-team Majors.
At the moment we are tied with the Rays for fourth place. If both the Rays and the Braves win their games later this week (and that's a big if in our case), I believe that the Braves would rank ahead of the Rays because we had the better record in head-to-head competition. There's an outside chance that the Braves could finish in third place, but realistically we will finish either fourth or fifth.
If we finish either fourth or fifth, our first game in the WFB Little League tournament would be Tuesday, July 7, at 4 p.m. -- possibly against the Rays. If we win that game, our second game would be Saturday, July 11. If we lose our first game, our second game would be Thursday, July 9.
We will play until we either win the tournament championship or lose two games.
The league could change the structure of the tournament, which would invalidate what I've written above. More facts as they become available.
In any case, it would be great if you could let me know if your son will not be available July 7, July 9, and July 11.
Thanks,
Dave
