Versus actual history (old format)#
- Title: actual champion was Death Valley Dementors — under the new format Gainesville Biscuit Boyz is champion instead. Death Valley Dementors (#2 seed) DID get the title shot but lost the single-week Showdown 153.30–181.54. In reality they won the old two-week-combined BCC.
- Relegation: Aurora Light Show, Stuttgart Strikers left the league (franchise exit, not AFP relegation). New AFP bottom 3 = Aurora Light Show, Oxnard Yellow Jackets, Pensacola Booty Smackers — overlaps with history on Aurora Light Show; Oxnard Yellow Jackets, Pensacola Booty Smackers would newly drop (they actually survived); Stuttgart Strikers would have been spared.
