Unsure why standings at end-of-season weren't used. The remaining matches of the regular season seemed to be cross-division ones, suggesting that maybe they were exhibition games only. The four divisions, though, had an equal number of teams, so if there was some waiting to do it must have been for the conclusion of IML or Pro.''

Standings
Standings were taken after Round 5, at which time the top 3 teams of each division would qualify for league play-offs. The regular season continued for a couple more rounds after this snapshot, comprising cross-division matches.

- Note that Carpe Jugulum had a superior difference per game over encore due to forfeited games.

'Second Chance' Tourney
''Arranged by Dacrath for those teams which failed to qualify for the play-offs. The competition was played in a knockout format. It is unclear whether this competition was restricted to only teams which had competed in AML Season 05, or if waiting list (Spring League) teams were also eligible.''
