Why have this stupid 3x3 OT if it doesn’t actually mean anything?


Just to muddy the responses further

Last year the OTW/OTL weighting was .55/.45 but it didn't change anything. So the weighting this year is 2/3 (.67) for OTW and 1/3 (.33) for OTL.

The weighting only applies to RPI (which leads to its effect on PWR). For H2H and common opponent PWR comparisons we got a full win last night.

Shootouts have no effect on PWR. If there's no winner after 3v3 OT, then it ends up a tie (essentially 0.5 win for both teams) for RPI, H2H, and common opponent. Shootouts are used to determine tournament/conference rankings.


Well I like this a lot better

And not just because it currently benefits us.

I agree with the below that this is a step in the right direction.


I suppose the .67/.33 split is a step in the right direction

But the rules being what they are and everyone who takes the ice knows what those rules are, the 3X3 OT should count as a full win for the Pairwise. At least the boost you get in the H2H counts as a full win, but since the RPI is so paramount now in the calculations it still should be a full win

Let the conference standings reflect a lesser win in minutes 61-65 than in the first 60 if you must, but I can see no reason, other than the coaches almost universally HATE the 3X3 OT, that these OT wins should not count as a full win. Until the last 2 years the pairwise score always reflected a full win for one that you earned in the OT.
