Neil couldn't get all the scores tonight, and hopefully he'll be able to fill in the missing ones tomorrow. On Saturday, each pool is divided into three separate brackets, with the winners playing in an 8 team first place (Gold) bracket, the second place teams in a (Silver) second place bracket and likewise, the third place teams will play in (Bronze) third place bracket. Again, if you're already out in the desert, there's no excuse for missing this one, which features some truly competitive teams.
