My understanding is that North Star is only running 7 matches per team and 10K Lakes is running 9 matches per team. Why the difference? I do not know.

This results in 8 min/match scheduled at North Star and 6 min/match at 10K Lakes. Because of this, North Star ran ahead by a lot and 10K Lakes trailed. It worked out well for awards though from my understanding.
