Regular season
Xinjiang Flying Tigers finished the regular season with 26-4 in 2nd place. But before the playoffs, it was determined that one of their players, Sou Song Cun, was not of Chinese nationality, thus violating the rule that each team may only have two foreign players. The league subsequently ruled Xinjiang loss with score of 0-20 in all 18 matches in which Sou played, 15 of them wins originally. As a result, Xinjiang's record dropped to 11th place with 11-19, and they failed to advance to the playoffs.
