Team Zacara mit Magoo Laprida (+8), Lyndon Lea (+1), Facundo Pieres (+10), and Mike Azzaro (+7) has proven its abilities against Team Coca Cola. With a 13:7 victory the undefeated team celebrated its success as it joined its place in the semi-finals.
In the exciting and suspenseful match between the Teams Valiente I und Valiente II, Bob Jornayvaz (0), Polito Pieres (+8), Miguel N. Astrada (+9) and Nacho N.
