The 1312th game played in a sports league's season. Of course, a league should play at least 1312 games to feature one such game.

NHL

Coincidentally, the National Hockey League (NHL) plays exactly 1312 games in a regular season since 2021-22, which makes it an ACAB league, as there's 32 teams playing 82 games each. The ACAB game is therefore the very last game played before the playoffs. Before that, an ACAB game could occur during the playoffs, 2000-01 was the first season where this was possible.
