So teams going into Sunday are the super hot Ironmen with 5 in-a-row wins followed by the Americans and the Russians who started slowly but got back on track with 4 wins and a loss. Dynasty and Infamous had disappointing losses but managed to scrape thru to Sunday and so did X-Factor.

Teams going home
Impact doesn't live up to their pre tournament No4 ranking and flies home early to Edmonton in their private jet. The list also includes the 2 'Afters' teams from Chicago and San Diego and crowd favorite Avalanche who finished last as they lost all their 5 matches. Dogs had a bad weekend - started badly and couldn't get it back together in time to make it to Sunday. Infamous goes(scrapes) thru on points despite having the same scoreline.
