I thought I posted this last weekend but there were a couple inquiries
tonight so I decided to give it another shot.  Note the date of it and
realize that pairings shown here are not current but I left them in
thinking they might contribute to the understanding and also prompt
comment back to me if there are errors, but these are as I currently
understand them.
 
  And I have NO knowledge of the HE situation in light of recent
developments.
 
   1994 Division I Conference Tournament formats and tiebreakers.
CCHA format and tiebreakers are same as last year.
WCHA #3 tiebreaker is a bit ambiguous; assume head-to-head.
HE tiebreakers for more than 2 teams is not up to date since
  there are 3 games among some teams, 4 among others.
