I've enjoyed reading your posts - keep pushing on!

Not sure if I'm missing something, but where's the "t"? Better question, where's the best spot to put it?

But, then again, if a 3-game series goes 3 draws, it's still a best-of-3 scenario. It would put a little more pressure on the team with two shootout losses to push all-in for a win to advance.

Good point. Your scenario makes more sense, then. A regulation win should be worth more in some fashion. And all of the extra shootouts feel overdone. But, ticket sales, broadcast rights, etc., will (unfortunately) drive the decision.

This feels a lot like how AFL (Australian Rules Football) does their playoff system. Gives a little extra safety net to the top ranked teams.

I thought 3 points for a win, 2 points for a shootout win, 1 point for a shootout loss; first to 5 points. Modeled after Jagermeister Cup point system in USL. Not sure how different that would be from yours.

Ain't nothin' left but the cryin'.

Generative AI creates racially biased lesson plans. Students who use it to study for tests do worse. LLM reliance means less critical thinking skills. The emerging research is clear: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I wish Scarves Fighting Cancer was still going; But We Have Paul Rothrock would sell out in a heartbeat!

First, why would the other groups need to pass a teaching qualification?

Second, try as I might, I could not get the test to fail me/kick me out. I could retry questions multiple times and it just let me try again. I wish the ACT, SAT, and Praxis were as "rigorous" as this.
