Conclusion

I have attempted to give a brief recap of each game played in this tournament.  I apologize in advance for any misspelled names or errors in stats as I hurriedly transcribed the statistics from the scoresheets.  This report is meant to be an overview of the tournament and not an instrument for ascertaining precise individual records.

Congratulations to the Louisville Jaguars, Lexington ICE, and The Truth for capturing their respective division championships.  There were some classic games played this weekend and some outstanding individual performances were recorded.
