Conclusion

Congratulations to the Adidas OBC Patriots, Charlotte Court, and Shining Star-Ponzer for capturing their respective division titles.  There were several excellent teams and excellent talent was on display throughout the tournament.  I have attempted to give a brief recap of this tournament and the statistics came from the game scoresheets.  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 for entertainment purposes and not meant to be used for ascertaining precise individual records.
