In humid and variable conditions (bright sun to wind and rain) teams from across the US and Canada battled it out in four men’s and two women’s divisions.
Reigning champions the Austin Crows kept their favourites tag as they accounted for the Quebec Saints and Denver Bulldogs in Division A with little fuss and with a win tomorrow morning over LA will be firm favourites for the title again.

Division B was split between two impressive performances from the New York Magpies and the Golden Gate Roos. The Magpies with Alex Aurrichio back from the VFL showing his experience alongside a willing group of accomplices were relentless taking down Orange County and Dallas with little resistance. The Golden Gate Roos did that and more and against the same two teams did not give up a point. So these two have set up a great match tomorrow morning to win the right to playoff for the championship – whoever win we hope they come out in one piece.
The story everyone is watching in the Women’s Division is the Denver Lady Bulldogs who are a chance to win their seventh straight women’s championship. On Day one they beat both Minnesota and Sacramento. But tomorrow morning they play the San Francisco Iron Maidens who also had two wins over Sacramento and New York by big margins. They meet at 11am tomorrow in a game that that both teams will no doubt treat as a Grand Final in the Round Robin tournament format (with the best ladder placing deciding the championship).
In Division II it looks like the Columbus Jackaroos will play off against the Calgary Kangaroos if both teams can win their morning games tomorrow after unbeaten starts to the tournament.
