The top 3 in each block advance with the winners going to the Semifinals. In the Red Block, Tora/Ruaka will advance but need a win or draw in their final match for the #1 spot or a Natsupoi/Anou loss. Natsupoi/Anou must beat Sareee/Kanae or draw to advance. Sareee/Kanae must win to advance. Mizumori/Seira need Tora/Ruaka to win because their head-to-head result vs. the Mexicans was a draw. If the Mexicans win or draw and get points, they advance. Bozilla/Kurogame can still advance with a win over Tsukiyama/Rian and if both Tora/Ruaka AND Natsupoi/Anou win. If Sareee/Kanae win, Bozilla/Kurogame are OUT due to tiebreakers (they lost to Sareer/Kanae).
In the Blue Block, HANAKO/Bayne will advance despite today’s loss and Syuri/Kashima will advance because of tiebreakers. They face off tomorrow with the winner taking the block. Sohrei/C are now OUT due to no matches left. Iida/Priestley now have only one way in-Sakura/Kurara must lose or draw their final match (AZM/Amasaki). If Sakura/Kurara win, they’re in. Despite one match left, Konami/Rina are now OUT due to tiebreakers (they lose them all). Suzuki/Yamashita never had a chance due to Suzuki illness/injury, she came back too late to salvage their chances.
