The prelims were rather quiet as a slow energy built around the leaderboard . After the completion of the round robin , the brackets were reseeded for a final two games that were cross-overs from the opposite bracket . Producer Kevin Donaldson opted to place the seeds based on mutual ranks , pitting the highest scoring teams against one another to qualify for the finals .
Disappointment rang out loudly as neither of the European teams made the finals . The UK Predators faced off against the 95 Allstars , eliminating them with a flag hang , and then APE snuck past the Predators on body count . And so , it would be a East-West
Coast rivalry coming into the finals . Drama in the Finals
The final bracket was filled by the All Americans , Automen Aces , OG Ironmen , and the APE Guerillas , and they started off hot . The tournament moved from the lower fields up to the renowned Rabbit Run , a wide spread , low-coverage field that plays slow and methodically . APE started the action off with a flag pull and hang on the Automen . They then played the OG Ironmen to a stalemate tie .
Next up , the All Americans tied the Automen and then beat APE with a flag hang .
