No awards were announced for best player. MCA President Dylan Goodwin said, "I think winner's of the points races in each the division's is pretty much the prize for best player, so it would have been a bit redundant to add awards there."
Goodwin said that he ultimately determined the winners in each category after consulting with the MCA board.
