Each league consisted of seven teams who were divided among the association's three divisions. The West Division was composed of four TL teams. The Central Division had three TL teams and one SL team. The East Division consisted of six SL teams. At the end of the season, the two top teams from the SL competed for the Southern League championship—the Charlotte Hornets defeated the Asheville Tourists, 2–1. The TL winners of the Central and West Divisions met for the Texas League championship—the Arkansas Travelers defeated the Amarillo Giants, 2–0. The individual league champions then competed for the Dixie Association championship—Charlotte defeated Arkansas, 3–0.[3][4]

Standings
gollark: But if I sell at those prices, I can probably get *loads* of turtles whilst selling relatively fast.
gollark: 3KST from iron, maybe 3KST from gold too - one turtle worth, excluding iron.
gollark: I have about a stack of ore ready to go. That's 3KST. Not really worth it.
gollark: Mining turtles aren't *that* cheap.
gollark: Now that I have automining going, GTech will begin selling iron and gold ingots at 0.5KST and 1.5KST respectively.
