See that Round 1 of the Conference playoffs (teams 1-7 plus winner of 8th v 9th wildcard game) will be done as a 3 game series.
Basically quartfinals played as a 3 game series.
Bottom qualifier (which could be Minnesota or Surman's Portland) to play the top qualifier (likely LA Galaxy) over 3 games. Then one off semi final & final. Winner of each Conference final meet in the MLS Cup final.

They 3 game quarterfinal series is to finish Nov 11th (our time). AWs play Vanuatu Nov 15th. Not a big deal, but they will likely be without either Boxall or Surman - so same as this window.
