As one would guess, Day 2 was full of great action and upsets.

The 12s division had a few shake-ups with A5 12-LA and Excel 12 Red both losing in three in their respective four-team pools. With that, Monday morning brings about an interesting and quite honestly exciting first match between A5 and Excel right from the start in the six-team championship bracket.

In the 13s division, Madfrog 13 Green, A5 13 Karen and Dynasty 13 Black all went 3-0 in their pools. However, in the R2 Elite C pool there were some shakeups with KIVA 13 Red and TAV 13 Black both going 2-1 overall and KIVA coming out on top. And in the 14s division the overall play was incredibly fun to watch throughout the day making for a fierce Top 4 Monday morning, which includes a rematch of the 2022 USAV 13 Open semifinals match between TAV 13 Black and Arizona Storm 13 Thunder from last summer.
