What about this: Thursday: Game 1: # 1 vs #5 winner to finals Game 2: # 3 vs #4 Friday Game 3: Loser Game 1 vs Loser Game 2 (loser gets 5th) Game 4: #2 vs Winner Game 2 Saturday Game 5 Winner Game 3 vs Loser Game 2 (third place game) Game 6 Winner Game 1 vs Winner Game 4 (Championship) This setup rewards the #1 seed (assuming they win). They get a day off against either the #2, 3 or 4 seed. In this setup, everybody plays at least 2 games and somebody may play 3. It also gives 6 games and keeps everybody there for at least 2 nights. It also make Thursday night interesting. Think the WCHA and ECAC would try this? NAH!
