Final Series

Two teams in a pool
When there are two teams in a pool, they play a two-game final series. A team receives two points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. The team with the most points in the series wins the division. The winner is awarded gold medals and the pool trophy.

Both finals are played for a full 60 minutes of regular playing time (4 x 15-minute periods) with no overtime. If the series is tied after the second game, a tie-break is played. The first final can therefore end in a tie.

Tie-break

The winner of the tie-break receives one point and is then the pool champion. The tie-break begins immediately after the second final game, as soon as the ice has been cleared. A tie-break consists of one fifteen (15) minute, fully played, uninterrupted period. The match does not end with the first goal, the period is played to its full extent. At the beginning of the period, the scoreboard is reset to 0-0.
