Qualification
Teams play two sixty-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 best-of-seven Taiwan Series, played in a 2-2-3 format. The other team must play a best-of-five series against the team with the best full-season record but didn't win either half-season. If the same team wins both halves, the next two teams with the best full-season record play in the first round; the winner plays in the Taiwan Series, with the team that wins both halves having a 2-2-2 format, as they start the Taiwan Series with one-win advantage. Before 2000, if a team managed to win the both half seasons, then they were directly crowned as the champion, and the Taiwan Series was not held.Results
