>>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. -Thomas Chestna Brown '94 "GO BROWN WOMEN !!!!"
