- Every round is a single game: Quarterfinals (1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5, at the higher seed), Semifinals and the NWSL Championship.
- The team that finishes first wins the NWSL Shield.

How the odds work
The odds come from playing out the rest of the season thousands of times. Each simulated game is decided by the two teams’ records so far, pulled toward average early in the season, and teams that finish level are separated with the league’s official tiebreakers.
