[edit]

The professional and amateur competitions at Disney were single-elimination exhibitions played for trophies, without prizes. Match lengths and winning-score limits were reduced during the day as the programme ran late.[4]

All Americans advanced past Dynasty through an agreed sudden-death point following a disputed scoreboard correction. Aftershock subsequently conceded its semi-final against All Americans to help the programme finish.[4]

Drexel defeated the University of Illinois 8–3. Purdue defeated Louisiana State in sudden-death overtime after regulation ended 4–4.[4]

Their final was scheduled for Disney on 27 October. Delays left players approaching their return-flight deadlines, and the match was not played. Drexel and Purdue agreed to share first place rather than have the title decided through a tie-break calculation.[4]

NPPL season championships
