Sparkle Motion went 11-2, swept the regular season, points and all-play titles, and — finally, mercifully — actually won the thing, seeing off Hot Grits and then Predestined Polish Warbirds 116–104 in the final. The Warbirds turning up in another final and losing it is starting to look less like variance and more like a personality trait. Three tied games this year, more than any other season on record, two of them involving the Warbirds. 3 E's & a Cloud of Dust closed the year by putting 184 on JaMarcus's Purple Drank and winning by 91.
