The fifth annual Ironman started with ten teams. Round robin play started at 10:30 am and ended at 4:45 pm. We implemented the time clock with 25 minute games with a 5 minute break between games. This year we implemented a 1 point penalty per minute if a team is waiting for another team to show up. We were able to play all 11 rounds and have a one hour break in 6.5 hours on Saturday. Bracket seeding was decided by total number of points and tie breakers decided by number of wins. 

On Sunday we played single game double elimination bracket with a 2 out of 3 final. The time clock was used with 30 minute games and 5 minute breaks and no clock for the finals. The finals were played against Team Ramrod with Ryan Scott, Jonathan Luedke, Jerico Luedke and The International Justice League with Alex Tews, Josh Tews and two rookies Karl Ploeckleman and Dustin Oetzman.
