Does anyone know why the organizers would select this format
for a tournament, including the bogus tiebreaker? Was B.U. unwilling to
play Quinnipiac? The format also puts B.U. at a disadvantage, since they
won't have the opportunity to play three periods against Quinnipiac.
Why not have co-champions if 2, 3, or 4 teams are tied in points?
Or why don't they just play the 4 games and not declare a "champion", as
long as day 2 isn't pitting the winners and losers from day 1 against each
other?
