Place	Prize	Team

2nd	80 points	UCC Boring Players
3rd / 4th	50 points *	UCD Leviathans

5th / 6th	20 points	MUVINCERE
5th / 6th	20 points	SETU Vikings
7th	10 points	TUD A

* A third place game was originally due to be played as different points were equally allocated for 3rd / 4th (60 / 40 points respectively). However this could not take place due to scheduling issues so the points were evenly allocated between these teams with 50 each.

Prize points are based on defined points per finishing position up to 8th place as of 03/01/26.^[1]
