USA Season : 2006

The ninth season is a bit thin on detail but at least we have the final points in the league. The Boston Braves turned up their solitary season, but the Jacksonville Axemen and New Haven Warriors were starting a much longer journey. The Delaware Mantarays were having their last season before merging with the Philadelphia Fight.

The Aston Bulls were top again, with the new Axemen doing surprisingly well for a first up season.

Finals: At least we have a more comprehensive coverage here. In an unusual system, three games made up the first round which covered the teams from second to seventh. The three winners were joined by the Bulls and unless the ranking of the teams on 32 points is incorrect, I can't see why the Sharks got to meet them while the teams lower down got were matched up.

Anyway, on to the semi-finals and Connecticut and the Glen Mills Aston Bulls side were the winners. The final looked intriguing with a six-time winner taking on a side that had won just one. These were the same teams that had contested the previous three finals too. The Bulls led two to one in the head to head grand finals from 2003 to 2005. However, the Wildcats were the victors on this occasion, evening up the tally two apiece.
