AUDL teams are allowed to add and remove players on their roster throughout the regular season as they see fit, as long as there are only 28 officially on the roster at any given time.

The Breeze won their final regular season game last night in a hard fought, storm delayed contest against the Philadelphia Phoenix, 23-20.
