Best-of playoffs are a playoffs format that have two teams facing each other in a series where, in order to advance to the next round or be declared champion, a team has to win a given number of matches. The best-of format is a common occurence in ice hockey, especially at the league level, where the winners of the league's playoffs are decided by a more or less long best-of series. Best-of series require an odd number of maximum matches and, in leagues where ties exist, they also require that tied games be played until a winner is found; these requirements ensure that one team invariably wins at least one more game than its opponent, and therefore can win the series.

  • Best-of playoffs are a playoffs format that have two teams facing each other in a series where, in order to advance to the next round or be declared champion, a team has to win a given number of matches. The best-of format is a common occurence in ice hockey, especially at the league level, where the winners of the league's playoffs are decided by a more or less long best-of series. Best-of series require an odd number of maximum matches and, in leagues where ties exist, they also require that tied games be played until a winner is found; these requirements ensure that one team invariably wins at least one more game than its opponent, and therefore can win the series. Often, a team will be able to win the required number of games before the maximum number of matches is reached. In those cases, the remaining matches are omitted, as they would be meaningless. Throughout history, three variations are commonly found: the best-of-three, the best-of-five and the best-of-seven.
