The 2006-07 NLA season was the 69th regular season of the Nationalliga A (NLA), the main professional ice hockey league in Switzerland .
New Rules [ ]
There are a few changes of rules for the new season.
3-Point System [ ]
For the first time an NLA season is run with a 3-point system. A team gets now 3 points for a win after 60 minutes, instead of 2.
Overtime [ ]
A tied game after 60 minutes results in an overtime of 5 minutes, which is played 4 vs. 4 (this is not a rule change). But now, if a team scores a goal it gets two points while the other team also gets a point.
Penalty Shootout [ ]
If the game still remains tied after the overtime, there will be a penalty shootout with 3 shots per team. The winner team will get two points and the other team one point.
Playoffs / Playout opponents attribution [ ]
To avoid cheating during the last games of regular season, the playoff opponents will be determined by a selection procedure; the winning team of the regular season will have the advantage to choose its opponent (from ranking 5-8) for the quarterfinals first, then the team in second place can choose its favorite opponent from the remaining teams and so on. The same procedure applies to the playout series.
