Round 1 - Unlike most tournaments that feature random pairings for the first round, pairings were determined based on the season standings coming into the event. Similar to March Madness, there were some notable upsets
- Top two seeds Derek Page & Scott Freeman made it through with 7-4 and 6-1 wins, respectively
- Don Hooson, the #3 seed, suffered a 9-1 loss to Noah Dominguez
- Jaminh Vo, #4 seed, also suffered an opening loss to at large qualifier Gabriel Rocha 7-1
Round 2 - the featured match of the round was between our two heavyweights Derek Page & Scott Freeman. A win in this game could not only determine the Finals champion but also the season championship. Derek has held the lead spot all season and was able to fend of Scott with a 11-0 win. In other games:
- Gabriel Rocha continued to makes some noise with a 2-1 win over Noah Dominguez. This game would set the tone for the next round as scores became much tighter than any games I have seen all season
- in a match up of first round upset victims, Jaminh Vo was able to get back on track by defeating Don Hooson
- Brandon Minor and Jason McCormack each suffered their second loss on the day knocking them out of contention
- Adam Steffen quietly had an awesome day going 3-0 and actually outscoring Derek on the day, but Derek's strong seeding from his season long dominance sealed the championship. Adam finished second.
- Jaminh Vo made a run for the title with another victory in his last game but the comeback was just not enough
- Rattler Cup Final Champion: Derek Page
- Rattler Cup Season Champion: Derek Page
- Rattler Cup Finals Wildcard winner: Gabriel Rocha (highest ranked player with 0 seeding points)
- Rattler Cup Above the Table Award: Jaminh Vo (awarded to a player who was instrumental to the success of the Rattler Cup)
- Huge thank you to Imperial Outpost for adding to our prize supported unsolicited!
