I did not see a place for this elsewhere.
The AL SCT featured Jasper A, Snead, and Faulkner A finish in a three-way circle of death. Faulkner won in two playoff games with Jasper finishing second and Snead taking third. Northeast Alabama took fourth and Northwest-Shoals finished tied for fifth.

As much as I love the ACBL, they are notorious in the statistics department. Unless required by NAQT, thankfully, they refuse to use SQBS and rely on an antiquated spread sheet system. Which would be fine, if not for the obsolete nature of it, as it does not track powers, negs, or bpc.
