Women’s Discussion
- Utah Dark Sky got an in-region upset over Vancouver Traffic at SFI West, 9-7 in the tournament final. That intertwines the two team’s rankings, and pushed Dark Sky up seven spots to beat above Traffic. Interesting shakeup in the Northwest.
- Over in the Southwest, a strong consolation win for Oakland LOL over San Diego Wildfire, popping LOL in at #17 a spot ahead of San Diego Wildfire.
- It was only a start for Ozone, but it wasn’t great, with some close wins and a pair of losses — to Wicked and Heist — to end the tournament. That dropped them from the rankings altogether.

Men’s Discussion
- The only change in the top 15 was a flip between Toronto GOAT and Seattle Sockeye. The eastern club gained a spot after dominating at Select Flight East, where they didn’t put up a winning margin under five goals.
- The other moves all happened at the backend: Cash Crop 2’s run to the SFI East final earned them the last top 20 spot. GOAT was the only team that beat them, in both of their matchups.
- Select Flight Invite West’s results also led to changes, with the week’s other two new entrants — Salt Lake Shrimp and Golden Fungi — sliding in at the bottom of the rankings. Fungi’s unblemished weekend boosted both teams, as Shrimp has a solstice win over Fungi.
- Oak Grove Boys, Trident, and Phantom all missed the cut after underwhelming SFI performances. The trio went a combined 9-9 at the eastern event, with Phantom taking four of those victories.

Mixed Discussion
- A Sunday semifinal clash at SFI East between Union and Toro was the primary driver of the most notable moves in the mixed division. Union’s comfortable 14-10 win, and subsequent 14-8 win over Garbage Plates in the final, snapped Union into the rankings at #20. The loss pulled Toro down eight spots.
- Out west, MOONDOG’s run to the final, where they only lost by one to #3 Red Flag, pushes the Montana squad into the top 20. Sunshine and Mile High Trash, however, drop after earlier-than-expected exits, with Bay Area falling to #23 and Denver falling out after Sunshine claimed the head-to-head win.
