Format

The first two rounds of the postseason tournament featured a best-of-three games format. The top eight conference teams participated in the tournament. Teams were seeded No. 1 through No. 8 according to their final conference standings, with a tiebreaker system used to seed teams with an identical number of points accumulated. The higher seeded teams each earned home ice and host one of the lower seeded teams. (teams will NOT be re-seeded with each proceeding round).[2]

The final was a single game held at the campus site of the highest remaining seed.

gollark: I could host one *now* at literally zero cost to me (as long as the traffic isn't too high).
gollark: Video platforms are easy. The hard part is discovery and monetization.
gollark: I think this is less bad, in various ways, than forcing people to waste time and dignity or whatever on deliberately interviewing for jobs they don't actually want.
gollark: The correct approach is to use nginx or similar software to load-balance between companies.
gollark: Sure. However, I think it would be better if it didn't obligate you to take any job you're offered and do interviews etc. constantly.
