Match 1I
  Juvenile Crime was on a roll as the angry kid stall put a serious hurting on Kang and friends in what was a back and forth match.

    Juvenile Crime  19  -  The Lonely Conqueror  -19

Match 1J
  Prey on the Weak was favored to win against the hellfire club/Future Foes hybrid and they did with extreme prejiduce. But not before Hellfoes took them deep into the negatives too!

    Prey on the Weak  -17   -  HellFoes  -30

Match 1K

      GangGreen  14   -  Attilan-d a Punch  -5

Match 1L
  Unstunnability was the name of the game as the robot sentinel/manhunter hordes faced off against the uniquely named Revenge Squad/Skrull build. An unstunnable initiative sealed the close game, as the horse you rode in on... rode right on through to the second round.

    No Man Escapes Bastion  -16  ...and the Horse you Rode in on  6

Match 1M
  In the longest running match to date, Hellboy and friends managed to alt recruit the infinity guantlet TWICE, but utimately could not hang on for the win as Thunderworld secured the win... BARELY in a game ending with the swing of a single point!

    Thunderworld  -7  -  Right Hand of Infinity  -8

Match 1N
  Doom Riders VS Sunburst special featured a clutch ruling that in no small-way, determined the winner of the game. We're pretty confident we got it right, but it was a crazy way to learn the specifics of transitioning between the steps of a phase.

  Doom Riders  16   -  Sunburst Special  -26

Match 1O
  Talia and friends made sure nobody survived a pileup of their own creation in a nail-biter against the anti-curve build.

  Talia and the Masters of Vengeance  4   -  4 Car Pileup  -1

Match 1P
  Morlocks with characters that can't be reinforced VS Hulk. This match should have been a freebie for all those betting. Hulk came, Hulk saw, Hulk Smashed.

  Morlocks of Infinite Earths  -8    -   HULK LOVE MAGIC  12
