Kirk's format called for one more qualifying round on Sunday morning before proceeding to Single Elimination for the Championship Stage. The day started with a downpour but the rest of the day wasn't that bad, though the rain was intermittent.

After Qualifying Round 5. the field of 24 teams was seeded into two brackets. The Concours (Championship) bracket was made up of sixteen teams with the other eight teams moving into the Consolante (Consolation) bracket.
