Canada West has changed its playoff format to give tournament teams more rest before travelling to a Final 8. That's good.
The RPI-offs are continuing, but with a tweak to the formula. That's bad.
But instead of a one-game play-in for the Final 8, the semifinals will be best-of-three. That's good.
But the RPI is still in use. That's bad.

Canada West certainly had some imperative to change after UBC went splat in the quarter-finals against Manitoba and the conference subsequently went 0-6 at the women's and men's nationals.BB: The 2017-18 @CanadaWest basketball schedule is here, and so are changes to the RPI formula and playoff format https://t.co/4PkkbmFCdf pic.twitter.com/3ftaCEtgtk— Canada West (@CanadaWest) June 22, 2017
