 thank you for clearing that up:huh:

Understand that I was born without the sports gene.

 I did hear one explanation.. that went something like this.

 Once upon a time there was two leagues. AFL and NFL.. then they combined to become one league... but still play as separate units.. "Communities? conglomerates??

 whatever.

 So my understanding from that is..

 when there were two leagues, the NFL played within their group until there was one winner left. The AFL played within their group until there was one winner left. then these two winners played for all the marbles.

 Then they merged. 

now.. the one conglomerate (AFL) plays within their group until there is one winner left.. the second conglomerate plays within their group until there is one winner left. Then the winners from these two groups play each other to see who wins all the marbles.:scratch:
