Season structure Regular season For the 2013 season, due to the admission of the NC Dinos as the KBO's ninth team, each team's schedule was reduced from 133 games to 128 games during the regular season with the new schedule arranging for each team to play every other team 16 times.Korea Baseball Organization (2013). 2013 달라지는점 https://web.archive.org/web/20140722075759/http://www.koreabaseball.com/About/Change2013.aspx 22 July 2014 (Korean). Retrieved 18 March 2013. All-Star Game On 19 July, the best players in the KBO participated in the Korean All-Star game at Pohang Baseball Stadium. The franchises participating were divided into two regions: Eastern League (Samsung Lions, Doosan Bears, Lotte Giants, SK Wyverns) and Western League (Kia Tigers, Hanwha Eagles, LG Twins, Nexen Heroes, NC Dinos). The titles 'Eastern' and 'Western' do not directly correspond to the geographical regions of the franchises involved, as both SK and Doosan, being from Incheon and Seoul respectively, are based in the Western region of Korea, despite representing the Eastern League. Unlike in Major League Baseball, the Korean All-Star Game does not determine home-field advantage in the Korean Series. The 2013 Korean All-Star Game was won by the Eastern League, 4–2. Postseason The 2013 Korea Professional Baseball season culminated in its championship series, known as the Korean Series. The top four teams qualified for the postseason based on their records. The team with the best record gained a direct berth into the Korean Series, while the other three teams competed for the remaining spot in the Korea Series in a step-ladder playoff system: Semi-playoff (best-of-five-game series, had been originally best-of-three-game-games, became best-of-five-game series in 2008) Regular-season third-place team vs. regular-season fourth-place team Playoff (best-of-five-game-series, had been originally best-of-seven-game series, became best-of-five-game-series in 2009) Regular-season second-place team vs. semi-playoff winner Korean Series (best-of-seven-game series) Regular-season first-place-team vs. playoff winner Unlike the regular season, no playoff game can result in a draw so each series can be completed as it was intended to be, whether it be a best-of-five-game or best-of-seven-games series. To determine the final standings Champion (1st place): Korean Series winner Runner-up (2nd place): Korean Series loser 3rd–9th place: sort by regular-season record except teams to play in the Korean Series.
