This season, the league allowed several teams to play exhibition games against league opponents. Although these teams, which included the Connecticut Wolves, DFW Toros, Delaware Wizards, Jersey Dragons, Nashville Metros, Pennsylvania Freedom, Chattanooga Express and Washington Mustangs, were not officially in the league, the games were counted in the standings.
Games counted as four points for a win, three for a shootout win, one for a shootout loss and zero for a loss. Only one game went to a shootout. In it, the Knoxville Impact defeated the non-league Chattanooga Express.
