^1 John Anderson disqualified Cassius from the Gauntlet for shoving Ace having already got past him.
^2 Maria scored five points at first, but one of Maria's fans challenged that Siren's chest plate was hit a second time in Dogfight, even though there was no signal. The fans urged a video review. After review, John Anderson declared the chest plate was hit a second time, and therefore Maria was awarded an additional five points. Ten points for this event.
^3 Ross was issued a yellow card for shoving Vulcan despite his instigation.
^4 Pauline Shirt injured her collarbone after scoring five points on Hang Tough. She was forced to retire from the competition and sent to the hospital. Tara Leyden was the fastest loser from the heats and therefore the substitute contender. She also lost to Pauline in the heats before replacing her.
