>>I'm curious as to the playoff procedures for this weekend's ECAC games.  In
>>case of a tie, are any overtime periods played in the first two games at
all?
>> Could (for instance) Union and RPI tie the first game as well as the
second
>>game and have the third game decide the outcome with, if necessary, an
>>infinite overtime scenario?
 
The ECAC playoff format is such that it is the first team to 3 points. The
first two games can end in ties (after the 5 min sudden-death period) and the
3rd will have an infinite number of overtime periods until their is a winner.
 
 
In 1995, Brown and Princeton each won (not tied) the one of the 1st two
games. The 3rd game went through I believe 2 ovetime periods and ended
shortly into the 3rd.
