-- [ From: Kepler * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- > I wish the Cornell-Merrimack consolation game would > have gone to OT so we could have seen how they would have handled it. Grady Whittenburg stated that it would be a 5 min o.t. If no resolution, then a tie. My reading of that wonderfully phrased rule for non-advancement games: "Third-place games MAY follow the overtime procedures as described in Rule 6 -47 (i.e., normal 5 minute overtime)." is that the S.I.T. officials couldn't run afoul no matter what they did -- 20 min, 5 min, no o.t., award the game to Cornell on general principles... whatever. You can't argue with a MAY. -- * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Greg Berge * Portland, Oregon * [log in to unmask] * www.spiritone.com/~kepler * * "An theron heng a brooch of gold ful sheene, * On which ther was first write a crowned A, * And after, Amor vincit omnia." * -- Lines 160-162, General Prologue, * The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer * HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
