Here's something to stir up the pot. Weren't we looking for the rule book last year? I found this when reading a USCHO post.

Not related to the NCAA rulebook (and I'm not sure if this has already been posted), but the ECAC has reverted to top 4/top 8 for tiebreaker comparisons (instead of the previous top 5/top 10).

I mentioned it, but I didn't have a reference to back it up. Thanks.
BTW, there was actually an explanation put out by the ECAC a few years ago, explaining what you do if you need to use a top 8 tiebreaker to determine who's in the top 4 and a top 4 tiebreaker to determine who's in the top 8.
BTW, does the Page_for_Men in the ECAC URLs make anyone else think of Hair Club for Men, or Entertainment for Men, or similar silly things?
"Page for men" reminds me of steamy nights in post-war Singapore, earning steerage fare for the slow boat back to San Francisco. But that's another story.
