The meet opener was possibly the most important and unfortunate round for Eros, who fell four points behind NFTO right out of the starting blocks. Eros recovered in Round 2 and followed up with an impressive comeback in Round 3, before losing another three points in Round 4. It was a roller-coaster for the underdog throughout the first five rounds.

Round 4 had a significant impact on NFTO, after a weak performance and additional penalties. The results of Round 4 allowed Chimera to take the lead for the first time. NFTO had their own strong comeback with the fast sequence of Round 7. The NSL News pointed out in the first meet update that Round 7 eventually became most important after the tied jump-off.

Then it was Chimera who digested the 3-point loss in Round 7 very well and won the next two rounds over NFTO for a new tie after Round 9. Eros did the same in Round 7 and Round 8, while it was too late for Joey Jones and his British team to catch up with the two expected top contenders.

It was already surprising that the sequence of Round 9 created three different scoring numbers. However, Rounds 10 and 11 between NFTO and Chimera did not change anything.

Chimera may have feared the fact that a tie after the extra round would put NFTO ahead and in 1st place, due to the highest score of the meet in Round 7 (ii. the highest score in any completed round). The next option in the tie-breaking procedure (iii. the highest score starting with the last completed round and continuing in reverse order, round by round until the tie is broken) would have favored Chimera, who had won Round 9.

In fact, Chimera was actually the stronger of the two teams since Round 8 on the last meet day (Sunday). NFTO scored the 32-pointer in Round 7 at the end of the Saturday action. The last option in the tie-breaking procedure (iv. the fastest time measured to hundredths of a second to the last formation scored without infringement by both teams in the last completed round. Starting time must be that used for original evaluation of the jump) would have created a different winner, as well. Chimera completed the 15th point (top of Block 12) faster than NFTO (31.93 - 33.67) in the jump-off round. The audience may now discuss the tie-breaking rules...
