This is a pretty easy, straightforward league, as all three spots have been clinched and only one game matters in relation to seeding.

1. Kaiser (9-0, 4-0): Clinched a playoff berth and the No. 1 seed regardless of what it does Thursday against Bloomington thanks to owning the head-to-head tiebreakers with both Summit and Norte Vista.

2. Summit (6-2-1, 3-1): Has clinched a playoff berth and will play Norte Vista Thursday for the No. 2 seed. Should the SkyHawks lose, they'll get the No. 3 seed.

3. Norte Vista (5-4, 3-1): Has clinched a playoff berth and will play Summit Thursday for the No. 2 seed. Should the Braves lose, they'll get the No. 3 seed.

4. Bloomington (4-5, 1-3): Eliminated from playoff consideration.

5. Patriot (3-6, 1-3): Eliminated from playoff consideration.

6. Jurupa Valley (1-8, 0-4): Eliminated from playoff consideration.

After almost having my brain explode while typing the Sierra League breakdown, I can chill a bit on this one, as tonight's game between Patriot and Summit is the only one that matters.

1. Kaiser (6-3, 4-0): Clinched the No. 1 seed out of the league no matter how it does tomorrow by virtue of its head-to-head tiebreaker advantage over Norte Vista.

2. Norte Vista (8-1, 3-1): Clinched the No. 2 seed out of the league no matter how it does tomorrow, as it loses the tiebreaker to Kaiser and owns the tiebreaker over both Patriot and Summit.

3. Summit (4-5, 2-2): Clinches the No. 3 playoff spot with a win tonight over Patriot. Eliminated with a loss.

4. Patriot (4-5, 2-2): Clinches the No. 3 playoff spot with a win tonight over Summit. Eliminated with a loss.

5. Bloomington (3-6, 1-3): Eliminated from playoff consideration.

6. Jurupa Valley (0-9, 0-4): Eliminated from playoff consideration.

This is another one of those complicated ones, though luckily, a four-way tie is not involved in any way, shape or form.

1 tie) Riverside Patriot (7-2, 4-0): The Warriors will face off with Kaiser for the league title. If it wins, Patriot is the No. 1 seed out of the Sunkist in the Eastern Division playoffs. If it loses, its the No. 2.

1 tie) Kaiser (5-3-1, 4-0): Copy and paste what I said for Patriot, except substitute "Cats" for "Warriors", "Kaiser" for "Patriot" and "Patriot" for "Kaiser".

3) Summit (7-2, 2-2): If the SkyHawks beat Bloomington Thursday, they will clinch the No. 3 spot out of the Sunkist. If they lose, they'll need Riverside Norte Vista to beat Jurupa Valley. That would cause a three-way coin flip for the last spot between Summit, Norte Vista and Bloomington.

4) Bloomington (2-7, 1-3): I'm putting Bloomington ahead of Norte Vista because the Bruins have a more direct possibility at the playoffs. If they win and Norte Vista loses, Bloomington gets the No. 3 seed. If both the Bruins and Norte Vista win, then it goes to a three-way coin flip with Summit.

5) Norte Vista (4-5, 1-3): The Indians need a win and a Bloomington win. In that situation, they'll be part of three-way coin flip with the Bruins and SkyHawks.

6) Jurupa Valley (2-7, 0-4): Eliminated from playoff consideration.
