The only exception is if the mercy rule is in place, and straight time has already been initiated.

      Tied “Championship and Semi Final” games will be played sudden death in the following manner:
      a) Play 2 minutes stop time sudden death with four skaters and a goalie. If still tied:
      b) Tied “Semi Final” games, will apply Rule 13iv, (first goal in game). In the event of a 0-0 tie, the referee will direct the players 'on the ice at the end of regulation play” to line up at center ice, one behind each other, with each team line facing the opposition goalie. Each team will take turns in a shoot out. Player 1, player 2, etc. The game is over if at any time the score is no longer tied. (Example: if after 2 players, the game is still tied, and player 3 from team A scores, and player 3 from team B does not score, the game is over. Team A wins.)
      c) Tied “Championship” games if still a tie after 2 minutes of sudden death, another 8 minutes with three skaters until tie is broken. When both teams have three players, and a penalty is called, the other team will put on an extra player and play 4 on 3 or 5 on 4. When a penalty expires, the penalized player will go off the ice until the first stoppage of play, then both teams will go back to 3 on 3 or 4 on 4.
      d) Tied “Championship games if still a tie after 16C, will follow 'shoot out format' as described in 16B 0-0 tie scenario.
