Women’s Discussion
- All movement this week was the result of the US Open, which saw #1 Fury take the tournament in dominant fashion. Co-finalists Scandal remain at #2, above a Molly Brown team they beat in semis.
- Semifinalists Brute Squad swap spots with Phoenix after a head-to-head quarters win. Phoenix’s subsequent loss to Flipside – plus Flip’s fifth-place win over BENT – pull the San Diegans up into the top five.
- Schwa’s back-to-back 15-8 losses are a big enough blemish to drop the Portland squad a spot.
- Despite posting losing records, Nightlock and Starling each rise two rankings over inactive clubs due to some close losses and wins over Team Mexico.

Men’s Discussion
- Rhino Slam!’s run to the US Open final puts them just shy of another Truck Stop-victim, Machine.
- A team who’s not (yet) a victim of Truck Stop? PoNY. They vault into the top 5 above Revolver, who New York beat to claim seventh at the tournament.
- DiG find themselves in a bit of a hole after not-close losses to Ring, Rhino, and Truck, a tough downturn from an impressive PEC East.

Mixed Discussion
- Hybrid took US Open, but BFG take #1 after the pair split games on the weekend in Seattle’s first loss of the season.
- shame. and Mixtape are feeling the sting of some bad losses that saw both teams miss out on deep bracket runs. shame. settle behind XIST after a match in the fifth-place final went XIST’s way, while Mixtape fall two lower than Slow, who claimed the head-to-head to finish out the tournament.
- In addition to playing Hybrid to universe, Lawless nabbed a win over XIST, enough for a slight bump over a Space Force team yet to beat a top-10 squad.
- UNION’s SFI East win over Toro keeps them in the top 25, but losses to unranked teams are looking worse as the season heats up.
- Similar to UNION, Public Enemy are buoyed into the rankings thanks to a win over #5 Disco Club at Texas 2 Finger.
- Burlington Big Rig enter the top 25 in their first year off the back of dominant tournament victories that see them sport just a single loss on the season and in bid-earning range.
