I saw that only Division games matter for determining who represents the North and the South in the PL Championship so yesterday’s Colgate loss doesn’t help us. If anything, it could hurt us if Laf winds up winning the South Division as all games count for purposes of deciding who hosts the title game. PL format is absolutely ridiculous. It's a six-team league. How hard would it be to just play a 5-game round robin schedule? And the winner of the conference....well...wins the conference. Maybe I'm not thinking of the possibility of cancelled games... Agreed....didn't they change the hoop playoff format at the very last moment this year too? Just keep winning and it will sort itself out.

If anything, the cross-division games at least have to mean something in event of a tiebreak. If HC, Colgate and Fordham all went 1-1 against each other then these out-of-division games end up making a difference.

You are on the right track as your scenario still leaves room for a makeup week as the title game would be replaced by a fifth game for all teams, not just the two finalists. The four also ran teams get 20% less preparation for the fall than the two finalists...or 25% if you say one game is 25% of the four played instead of saying five games is 20% more than the four played. Not a math major😒

Well there's already two games to make up for one team, it appears.

Qualifying for the playoffs is becoming Darwinian.
