Thanks to Glen for refreshing our memories about the tiebreaking rules.
 
Just a quick point about the current pairings in the ECAC. Glen seems
to have reversed three of the four tie-breakers (the results, not the
rules).
 
Glen has:
>   Based on current standings:         Omit ---->     12 Brwn       11 Yale
> 7 Havd      8 Unin        1 Crnl        2 RPI         3 VT          4 Prnc
>10 Dart      9 StLw        8 New 8       7 New 7       6 Clgt        5 Clks
 
I get this set of pairings:             Omit ---->     12 Brwn       11 Dart
  7 Unin      8 Harv        1 RPI         2 Crnl        3 VT          4 Prnc
 10 Yale      9 StLw        8 New 8       7 New 7       6 Clgt        5 Clks
 
There are four places where the tie-breakers need to be used:
 
Cornell vs. RPI (20 points)
        RPI wins head to head 1-0  (12/06/96, RPI 4, Cornell 3)
 
Vermont vs. Princeton (19 points)
        Vermont wins head to head 1-0  (1/10/97, UVM 3, Princeton 2)
 
Union vs. Harvard (14 points)
        Head to Head is tied 1-1
        Union wins record against top 4  (Union 1-2-2, Harvard 1-5)
 
Yale vs. Dartmouth (9 points)
        Yale wins head to head 1-0  (1/10/97, Yale 5, Dartmouth 4)
 
 
Of course, as Glen says, this is all pretty meaningless right now.
 
Also - I'm assuming that tiebreakers 2-6 also only count ECAC contests.
