Report
Match 1 saw Austin Smith, Bradley Whitmore, Bob Google, and Chad Lyons. Unsurprisingly, Smith and Whitmore did far better than Google and Lyons, and they qualfied, both scoring +2.

Match 2 had Dan Rosenstreter, John Powell, David Skinner, and Mike Dillon. Rosenstreter and Powell laid a beat down on the other two and made the show. Rosenstreter scored +2, while Powell scored +1. This will be Powell's first SBWC start in 4 years.

Match 3 had Chris Louviere, Adam Snyder, Rachel Griffin, and Gustavo Demitrius. Demitrius struggled early on, but regained his form and made the feature along with Snyder, who did much better overall. Both however scored +2.

In Match 4 were Sari Maakinen, Mathias Hoffman, Kazu Sato, and Mitch Tanaka. Tanaka and Sato were domininant, and made the feature with +2 for Tanaka, and +1 for Sato. A highlight of the match was the struggling Mathias Hoffman, who wound up with -3, the 2nd lowest score of the session, only beaten by Yoshi Mori's -4.

Match 5 saw Marcus Griffin Jr, Prevot Conte, Mark Tremwell, and Grant Turner. Tremwell and Conte qualified for the feature, with a +2 for Tremwell and a 0 for Conte. Conte will be making her final points start. Prior to this event, Grant Turner had made every Round of New York.

The final match was Match 6, which had Troy Connor, Yoshi Mori, Tara Johnson, and Nick Hall. Johnson completely domniated the match scoring a +4, the highest score of the session.
