2.  If the game is still tied a shootout will then take place with each coach designating 5 players (who have not played in previous round, until all have participated) to shoot in a penalty shot format. Total goals of the 5 shots will determine the winner. All 5 shots will be taken unless there is a clear victor. Both teams will shoot at the same time.

3.  If the score is still tied each coach will designate 5 more players and the shootout will continue as a sudden victory shootout until one team scores and the other does not. All decisions made by the tournament committee are final.
