Wiseguys . And the third bracket saw Team Smoke pull just ahead of Thunderhorse 110 to 105 points , while the All Americans 2 lost both of their semifinal games .
The Amateur ten-man finals were set : Image , Team Smoke and Mutiny . Again with each team playing the other two in their bracket somehow Image would win the bracket and the tournament without a flag pull or hand . The final scores were : Image 32 , Team Smoke 24 and Mutiny 21 . If nothing else , this proves every elimination matters in ten-man ball .
Thirteen teams entered the Amateur fiveman division of the ICPL Old Bay Classic with each team playing eight preliminary round
games . With a total of 800 points possible should a team max all eight games without losing a single player , the high score after the preliminary rounds belonged to Savages with 388 points . Ground Zero finished the prelims with 324 , AC : Powerhouse had 314 and Mutiny with 274 — all of which show how competitively balanced the five-man Open Division was . In fact , AC : X won just two high-point games and one stalemate and managed to make it to the finals . And in the end it was just that , AC : X taking home first place with a total of 36 points in the finals against Mutiny and Savages .
