This one was fairly close at the other end. Rich Raymond's MOV: 0.0175 seconds (approximately 5 feet).

Ward knew he had a tough one in the other lane with Taros but wound up red lighting away his shot. Taros goes on...again. Guess he's earned that #1 plate several times.

This was an odd one. I don't know if Hall was broken or what but when the tree came down he just sat. Davis left on time and stayed within his index to he does take the win to close out round 3.
