Although the minor league season has been extended to the third week in September the push for a very limited play-off spot will soon begin. Actually, the A and AA regular seasons end on September 19 with a five-game playoff between the two teams with the best winning percentage in the league regardless of their division.
There are no playoffs at the AAA level but the regular schedule has been extended until October 3. This extends the season by 10 games for every AAA team but there is no reward at the finish line in terms of a championship.
