Four teams from Montreal, one team from Sherbrooke, one team from Quebec and one team from Trois Rivieres battled it out on the grounds of the Douglas Hospital in a double-elimination format with only four spots up for grabs for Nationals. First round saw an intense, well-matched game between Coming Soon (Montreal) and Obscurantis Order (Quebec).

Obscurantis Order matched up against #1 ranked IAX in round two and despite their atheticism and posititive energy, weren’t able to continue their winning streak. They lost 15-3 to IAX, who played solid defense and worked smoothly as a unit to score after causing turnovers. Loki beat MID 13-6 while Toys suffered their second loss of the day to a strong-looking Sherbrooke team. Round three saw four teams, each who had suffered one loss, compete to advance to the three/four final. Coming Soon played solid offense and capitalized on their defensive strengths to win 13-6 over MID. In a closer battle for the back-door game to go, Stak emerged the winner in a 13-12 victory over Obscurantis in a huge upset win which saw the #7 seed defeat the #4 seed for a berth at Nationals. In games for seeding, IAX went on a 14-2 run after being down to LOKI 3-1 in the first minutes of the game for first place. Final score, 15-5. Coming Soon and Stak also had a tight game, but the team from Montreal emerged victorious in the drizzle, securing their third place spot to nationals with a 15-10 win. In all, an excellent show of athleticism, spirit and a drive to win made every game thrilling to watch and even more exciting to play.
