Alternate Sports Games/Scores

We already have one for Association Football, so this will be a general thread for posting the results of other sporting events, such as Stanley Cup Finals, Super Bowls, etc. etc.

I'll be posting alternate playoff results from an NFL that adopted an alternate playoff system, starting in 1970 and continuing to the present day. The system is this:

1) On the first week of playoffs, the first and second place team in each division will play each other at the 1st place teams stadium. However, if a third or worse placed team in another division has a better score than the second place team, they may cross over and play the first place team of that division. Teams may also cross conferences to play, but only if no team in that conference qualifies to cross over into that division.

2) On the second week of playoffs, the second and third best teams in the conference play at the second-ranked teams home field, while the first place team has a bye week.

3) On the third week of playoffs, the first place team plays at home against the winner of the second weeks game.

4) The Super Bowl is held on a neutral field by the winners of the two games in the third week of playoffs. In the event that the stadium chosen before the start of the season is the home stadium of one of the two teams, the game is moved to the venue that received the second highest number of votes, or third highest if that is also the home stadium of one of the two teams.
