subsequent investigation found that the Law were in violation of the league's operations manual and guidelines pertaining to uploading video in a timely manner. When asked about the decision, commissioner Ricky Bertz stated, "While this situation was unfortunate and no one in the CIF including the Dodge City Law wanted this to be the final outcome, the board of directors decided that this was what was best for the league given the circumstances and how they related to all team members involved." Ultimately, the team finished with a loss to the Duke City Gladiators in Albuquerque, and a record of 7–5 after the penalty but still made the playoffs. They then lost in the first round at the home of the eventual postseason champions Texas Revolution 59–63. After the season ended, it was reported that the owners, Sean and Joi Ponder, owed refunds to several ticket holders for the first round playoff game that was originally scheduled to be in Dodge City prior to receiving the league penalty. Two days later, owner Sean Ponder posted that the Law had left the CIF. 2021 relaunch On April 1, 2021, opening week of the 2021 season, the CIF announced the Oklahoma Flying Aces had withdrawn from the league.
