## Play-off

Shreveport Storm were declared by CBA commissioner Scotty Thurman to have forfeited an unplayed, season-ending match against Florida Beach Dogs. The forfeit leveled the two teams with 150,0 points. At the same the Commissioner Thurman controversially gave the final playoffs spot to Florida Beach Dogs, even though Shreveport Storm held the first one tiebreakers: wins and goal-differential.
