In other soccer leagues, they have a unique way to determine the champ. If the title game is tied after regulation, play some OT (usually not sudden death). If the game is still tied after OT, then they start over and play another game a couple of days later. Yes, this has actually happenend. I recall watching a game on TV at Wembly stadium in England. I never did see the second game...... Anyway, this sounds OK for soccer, since they don't have many substitutes. For hockey, with its frequent line changes, frequent stoppages, and required breaks to redo the ice, I think just playing until someone scores is still the best way to go. Keith
