Glasgow Warriors finished top of the pile in their bid for a maiden PRO12 title, while Munster, Ospreys and Ulster are still in the crown hunt alongside them.
And it was Ospreys' try-scoring scrum-half Rhys Webb who took the top individual honour at the famous Guinness Storehouse this weekend - Players' Player of the Year.
Unfortunately Webb couldn't be there to accept the gong - his son Jesse was born just two days earlier - but Ospreys captain Alun Wyn Jones was on hand to do so on his behalf.
"I think when he was coming through he was keen to make the odd break but I think if he was honest he was trying a bit too hard," recalled Jones.
"But his decision making now is up there with some of the best in the world and it is credit to the hard work he has put in."
It was a night for scrum-halves as Edinburgh starlet Sam Hidalgo-Clyne picked up the Young Player of the Year award.
And the 21-year-old was happy to reflect on a season that saw him emerge as first-choice No.9 at BT Murrayfield, following the departure of Scotland captain Greig Laidlaw, and make his international debut in February.
"I didn't expect to be in the position that I am at the start of the season," said Hidalgo-Clyne.
"Going into pre-season you have got to earn your place and I tried to learn as much as I could off Greig before he left and take that into this season. On a personal level it couldn't have gone much better."
After guiding the Warriors to the top of the regular-season table, Gregor Townsend was named GUINNESS PRO12 Coach of the Season.
However, with a play-off semi-final against Ulster looming, he revealed the focus is firmly on ensuring this campaign ends with silverware.
He said: "It's great that it was voted by the other coaches in the league and I thank them for thinking of me but because we are in a semi-final and the focus is on these next two games, I've not really reflected on it too much.
"Really the award is what the club has done, it's what the coaching team around me has done and ultimately what the players do week to week."
Try of the Season went to Ulster wing Craig Gilroy - currently leading the league's try-scoring charts alongside Webb with 11 - for his stunning effort against Scarlets at the Kingspan Stadium.
Meanwhile, Ian Madigan claimed the Rhino Golden Boot award as most accurate place-kicker and Connacht won the Specsavers Fair Play prize.
Retiring Glasgow captain Al Kellock graced the stage twice, first to accept the Rhino Collision Kings gong - awarded to the side that has shown most improvement at the breakdown throughout the season - and then after being handed the Chairman's Award.
Kellock was honoured in recognition to his outstanding service to the competition and he is hoping to bow out with a GUINNESS PRO12 winner's medal.
"It has been a special league to be part of for so many years and to be honoured with this in my last year is pretty special," said the 33-year-old lock.
"You work hard to be as good as you can and the way you are looked back on is determined by that."
