The Battle of Alberta ended in a 12-12 tie! By rule, defending champion Team South retains the trophy. Team North fielded an incredibly young team, and nearly overcame a significant average rating deficit — impressive performance. Thank you in particular to the captains, Sam Hoekman and Zeeshan Munir, for their organizing efforts.
