Taiwan Series

Taiwan Series is the championship series of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. It is usually played in October, after the regular season. It was originally called ''Chinese Professional Baseball League Annual Championship Series'' , and was renamed ''Taiwan Series'' after the merger of the Chinese Professional Baseball League with the Taiwan Major League in 2003. Starting in 2005, the winner of the Taiwan Series goes on to play in the Konami Cup Asia Series.

Qualification

Teams play two fifty-game half seasons. The two half-season winners are automatically the number one and two seeds. The one with the better full-season record gains an automatic berth into the Taiwan Series. The other team must play a best three-of-five game series against the non-winner who had the best full season record. If the same team wins both halves, the next two teams with the best full-season record will play in the first round. The winner plays in the Taiwan Series, but reduced to having the home field advantage only two times in the series.
