* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: The team Huey brings together after the initial team is disbanded: his family (consisting of himself, Riley and Robert), Tom Dubois, Ed Wuncler III, Betty von Heusen, Butch Magnus, Cindy [=McPhearson=], [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers and a Tibetan man named Jingmei who joined because he's rebelling against the Chinese]]. Wuncler warned Huey that this new team won't survive, much less win. Considering he caused this and they are already pressed for time, he has no choice but to roll with it.

* BittersweetEnding: The Woodcrest team wins the kickball game, so they are no longer at risk of a hostile real-estate takeover by Long-Dou and his fellow Chinese businessmen. Unfortunately, every single player is too critically injured to enjoy their victory, so they are just left to groan in pain on the bleachers.
