The region 8 standings (as has been discussed)is very tight this year and there's a high likelyhood that two or more teams may end up with similar records within the region. As well, more than a couple of games have been decided in pks. I think that using a points system (3pts win and 1 tie) may relieve situations like ours.
I also think that some consideration should be made to expediting trips home for these young men an women. Both the girls and we went to pks down in HH this year and did't pull into our parking
lot until midnight. I don't think that deciding a game by such chance is worth it. (Yes, we lost the shootout by the way.)
