Good.. so if letsay only 1 eastern team had more points than all the western teams, the second place eastern team would still make it to the playoffs.

WHO QUALIFIES: Eight teams qualify
for the 2010 MLS Cup Playoffs. Playoff berths will be determined by points in
the standings upon the completion of the regular season. All 16 teams will have
played 30 games.


The top two teams in each conference qualify and are seeded 1 & 2 in their
respective four-team playoff conference brackets.
The four MLS teams with the next most points, regardless of conference,
receive “wildcard” berths.

The four wildcard teams will be seeded according to conference
first.
If more than four teams qualify from one conference, the team
finishing lower than fourth in its conference will shift over to the
other conference bracket.
A team switching conference brackets will be seeded below all
other teams in its new conference playoff bracket.

Interesting that the top 8 teams are starting to settle into a little bit of a leader's pack (I say 'little bit' because I realize it's only by 3 points at the moment). But imagine if results go a certain way in the next couple of weeks and the 8 playoff teams are basically set for the rest of the year -- what a change that would be from last year.

I wonder if that would be an interesting development or a boring development for the league?
