I expect you're right. When I first checked the IPG, it was only showing 3 nights (which seemed to imply, in a "winner is first to three matches" tournament, that somebody sweeps). But after last night's game, where that is now impossible, I see that the IPG has been updated to _7_ nights, which is the most matches possible. They probably should have gone with the World Series system, i.e. for games 5-9, "Game 5, if necessary" :-)

I suspect that ABC is handling the program listings for this in the same way they do the NBA finals — on the nights on which the later games would take place, temporarily slotting in sitcom reruns or other programming until it becomes known that the later games will take place. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "World News Now Discussion List" group.
