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.
