MLS revises playoff format for 2012 season
As expected the Supporters' Shield winner will host MLS Cup, a welcome and long overdue change.
But the top five in each conference - Montreal joins the now 10-team Eastern Conference while the nine-team Western Conference remains the same - will now qualify for the playoffs. The fourth and fifth place teams will play a single game to determine who advances to play the conference champion in the two-game aggregate score semifinals, while the second and third place teams faceoff in the other semi.
