- Taiwan Series
Taiwan Series (zh-t|t=台灣大賽) 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" (zh-t|t=中華職棒年度總冠軍賽), and was renamed "Taiwan Series" after the merger of theChinese Professional Baseball League with theTaiwan Major League in 2003. Starting in 2005, the winner of the Taiwan Series goes on to play in theKonami 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.
