The action will conclude with the Harpy Eagle Conference seeing young and furious Bounty Colts featuring Domitre Rankin coming up against The Nets. Eagerly looking for a win, they are placed in 5th.
The tournament kicked off with 14 teams in the Harpy Eagle and Jaguar Conferences, with a projected 56 to 63 games. The tournament will see teams from the Jaguar and Harpy Eagle Conferences playing the teams within their conference twice, with the top four teams qualifying for the playoffs. The number one-ranked team plays the four-ranked team, and the number two team plays the third-ranked team. Winners of the playoff games will then advance to their Conference Finals, where they will play the best two of three games to determine who advances to the National Finals.
