== M500 demonstration ==

The event hosted the Millennium Series' first demonstration matches using its proposed [[M500]] limited-paint format. [[Edmonton Impact]] played Houston Heat, while [[Frankfurt Syndicate]] played Toulouse TonTons.[5]

The trial restricted the paint carried onto the field to one loader and two pods per player for each point. It formed part of the league's development of a limited-paint format for possible wider introduction in 2016.[5] The main tournament retained the existing format.[6]
