After returning from their Memorial Weekend break, the San Diego American Flag Football League wasted no time and went right into the playoffs.

The last time the league played was May 21, aka "double-header Saturday."

This was also the last day of the regular season, and standings were determined based on the outcome of these games.

Going into the playoffs, the standings were as follows:

1. Bourbon Street Storm, 9-0
2. Baja Betty’s Ball Hawks, 9-1
3. Eden Hellraisers, 7-2
4. No. 1 on Fifth Ave Hitmen, 7-3
5. Martini’s Bulls, 6-4
