What to know about 4 nations face-off format

Each country plays a game against the other three countries in the round Robin scene. Team earns three points for a regulatory gain, two points for an overtime/shootout victory and one point for if they lose in overtime/shootout. The two teams with the best records face each other in the championship.

Games are played under NHL rules, where the lonely exception is that overtime will now contain 10 minutes of 3-to-3 sudden death throughout the round Robin part as opposed to the NHL’s five minutes. If it is still tied after 10 minutes, the game then goes to a shootout. During the championship game, overtime is just as it is in the NHL Playoff Overtime: 5-to-5 hockey for 20 minutes of periods of the next team scoring a goal wins the game.
