Trivia

• Due to an Invitational happening in Oregon on the same weekend, many of Washington & the greater Pacific Northwest's best players weren't participating. The PAXArena stream raided the invitational stream at the end of both days as compensation.
• The highest-placing participant from the Seattle area was Justice, at 5th.
