In their first games, in the first game of the semi-finals, team Superlicious won the fourth set of the first game trailing in game points 37 to 14. But, in Rocball rules of play for the quarter/set system, a team cannot win a game in a losing set. SO, even though the Pound Stars had a 24 point lead going into the fourth set, they couldn’t prove they had the “skill for the kill”; Superlicious won the fourth set 14 to 8.

The Pound Stars only needed to win one over time set because they had scored the most game points but lost the fourth set. The Pound Stars won the game in the first overtime set.

In the game between the Teachers and Fearless, the Teachers lost the first set but won sets two, three, and four with the most games points and juiced-out for the win.
