This rules change effectively reverts the change that was discussed ad nauseum over here. This is big news, particularly for anyone interested in Lost World.
Please take a look at the current Rules document which is now live on our site:

The only part that has changed is the part of section 22.3 regarding how to resolve game 2 in a best of three match.
The section with updated text is below:
GAME 2
If the last turn ends during game 2 and if either player has less than 50% of his or her initial Prize cards remaining (2 in a Constructed format or 1 in a Limited format), the player with the fewest Prize cards remaining wins the game. Otherwise, the game does not count toward determining the winner of the match. The winner of game 1 wins the match.
If both players have the same number of Prize cards remaining, the game continues until one player has fewer Prize cards remaining than the other. The player with the fewest Prize cards left is considered the winner of game 2.
If both players draw their last Prize card (or Knock Out their opponent’s last Pokémon) at the same time, refer to the “What Happens if Both Players Win at the Same Time?” section of the Pokémon TCG rulebook. If necessary, follow the Single Prize Sudden Death rules as outlined in the Pokémon TCG rulebook, including flipping a coin again to see who goes first. The winner of this Single Prize Sudden Death is the winner of game 2.
If this results in one player having won two games in the match, that player wins the match.
If this results in both players having won one game in the match, follow the Single Prize Sudden Death rules as outlined in the Pokémon TCG rulebook, including flipping a coin again to see who goes first. The winner of this Single Prize Sudden Death is the winner of the match.
