The Governor's Cup
From 1936-54, the PCL Champion was determined by the Governor's Cup Playoffs, in which the top four teams would advance to face each other in a best-of-seven semi-final and championship round. Due to financial concerns this format was changed in 1951 and 1954 to best-of-three series. Numbers next to teams indicate that team's place in the final regular season standings.
