Playoffs
The Memphis Rogues won their first round series against the Atlanta Quicksilver. Having the best record in the league, the Rogues expected to play New Mexico Chiles in Memphis, but league commissioner Francisco Marcos moved the series to Albuquerque, New Mexico based on the higher number of spectators at Chiles games. When the Rogues withdrew from the playoffs in protest, Marcos shuffled the teams in the semifinal round. He replaced the Rogues with the El Paso Patriots which had the best record among the teams eliminated in the first round.[1]
