It is preferable for the last game of a tournament to be the most exciting.
I would guess that the most exciting type of game would be an untimed game to 5, as it encourages teams to score goals rather than take an early lead and D-up till time.
In a double elimination tournament (with double final) it is logical for the 'first' final to be a timed game, in keeping with the previous games in the double elimination.
If the winner's bracket winners wins the first final, then the tournament ends on a timed game, rather than an exciting game as outlined above.
just a thought..
