The best of 7 2001-09-08
From Michelle:
Professional basketball, hockey, and baseball championships are decided on the best 4 out of 7 games. The first team to win four games wins the championship. In how many possible ways could the team win the championship series after winning the first game?

 Example:

Result W    L    L    W    W     W
