The OOSL League Championship Series, and the OOSL World's Series after it, do not have a fixed schedule. The specific date the World's Series will begin is determined by when the League Championship Series (LCS) ends. Listed below are the specific dates and later tentative dates for the first round of playoffs.
The second round for each league begins two days after the last game of the first round is played. So, if one AL series takes until October 7 and the other AL series is over on October 5, the second round of the AL playoffs -- the actual AL League Championship Series -- would begin on October 9 with the first team getting one day off and the second team getting three days off. It pays to finish off your opponent fast.
If both of the NL series ended on October 5 the two surviving teams would each get one day off and then get started on October 7. The World's Series then occurs two days after the last LCS has concluded. Again, the one who finishes first gets the most rest before the World's Series begins.
