Playoff Quarter-Finals: OT/SO rules + What happens next?
All to play for!
It's the final day of action in the 2023 Viaplay Playoffs Quarter-Finals. After tonight we'll know all four of the teams for the Semi-Finals Final, but we've still got three matchups to play first.
Overtime & Shootouts in the Quarter-Finals
It's the aggregate score after 120 minutes that counts. If any series are tied on aggregate after three periods tonight (and three yesterday), teams will play the following to decide a winner:
- A 5-minute, sudden death, 3-on-3 overtime period
- If no winner has been determined: a 'Best of 5' shootout
- If no winner still has been determined: a sudden-death shootout where coaches can select any player they choose to shoot
What about the Semi-Finals?
After tonight's Quarter-Finals are completed, we'll know the line-up for the Semi-Finals. They will be determined as follows:
- SF1 Saturday 15 April 2023 3pm: Highest seed vs. Lowest seed
- SF2: Saturday 15 April 2023 7pm: Second-highest seed vs. Second-lowest seed
Seedings are based on the final league standings.
