Classification Series Notes:

** If the series is tied 1-1 after regulation time of Gm2, we will have a 5 min "mini-game 3" (not sudden death)

** 3-player shootout if still tied after "mini-game 3" to determine the winner of the series

** If the series is tied 1-1 after OT or shootout of Gm2, we go to a "mini-game 3" or

immediately to 3-player shoot-out to determine winner, time permitting

*** If a game ends in a tie during the semi-final/final/classification rounds, there will be a 4v4

sudden-death overtime (time permitting, changes on the fly only),

followed by a 3 player shootout (teams can repeat shooters once 1 team's roster has cycled through)

General Playoff Notes:

PIM Threshold for playoffs is reset to 15PIM.

Once surpassed, players will be suspended 1 game or rest of playoffs/season

if it is their 2nd suspension of the season.
