The playoffs started on Thursday, August 11. With top seed Cloud 9 and two seed Blu Tang Clan earning byes, the first game of the night featured 3rd seed Pinky Promise matched with 6th seed Blood. Blood came gushing out, looking to break Pinky Promise, and Blood held the lead at half 8-6. There were a number of long points, but Pinky Promise continued to trail. Hard cap was called at 8:25, with Blood scoring the final point to win by a score of 13-9. With the win, Blood advanced to face Cloud 9 in the late game on Monday, August 15.
The late game matched 4th seed Black Crows and 5th seed Green Tea. Green Tea put the kettle on to end the season with a two game winning streak. Both teams looked a bit light on numbers, but had enough players to play. Green Tea scored the first point of the game as a break, and went on to build a two point lead with some beautiful long hucks from Nova before the Black Crows ca-cawed their way back to tie at 7-7 and then take half on serve. Black got another break to start the second half and feathered their nest with what appeared to be a comfortable lead. Green Tea made a comeback late, but couldn't close the gap. The Crows got the win 15-11, and moved on to play 2nd seed Blue at 7PM on Monday.
