Playoff Results

The top three teams from each division advanced to the top playoff group, the next three teams to the next playoff group, and so on. The two round-robin matches against teams in the same group carried over to the playoff bracket. Each team then played three cross-bracket matches to complete the playoff round-robin.

After the playoff round-robin, ties were broken first by head-to-head, and then by points per game in the playoff bracket matches.

Final Results

Chicago A and Kentucky then advanced to the best-of-three finals, with Kentucky holding a one-game advantage by virtue of their playoff round victory. However, Chicago A won both finals matches, by scores of 350-205 and 265-185, to capture the tournament championship.
