Aus den Regeln:
"The four top-ranked teams in each conference will make it into the playoffs. There is a one-game elimination match between the 1st- and 4th-ranked teams and between the 2nd- and 3rd-ranked teams in each conference, followed by an elimination match between the two winners. When these champions are decided, the winners from each conference face off in a best-of-three showdown. The winner of the division finals is crowned champion of the division, and is promoted to a higher level of divisions."
Ich habe mal irgendwo aufgeschnappt, dass das in der Tabelle besser stehende Team Heimrecht hat. Stellt sich aber zusätzlich die Frage, wie das bei dem endgültigen Best of 3 Finale gehandhabt wird. Vielleicht die dann neutral oder nur ein mögliches 3. Entscheidungsspiel?
