An unprecedented number of teams requires an unprecedented postseason format to go along with it. The first portion of the playoffs features a qualifying round where teams outside of the top-four of each conference will face off against one another in a five-game series for one of eight remaining spots in the next round — those remaining top four have already qualified for the next round. You can check out the full schedule for the qualifying round here.
