Don't see Phillips make that mistake often, holding five hundredths and taking too much stripe.

                                                  S/C Index: 8.90 (+/-): 91.099
 Prior rounds:
E2                                           (R Erks      ) 0.010  8.906  0.006
E1                                           (B Wolkwitz  ) 0.083  8.934  0.034

"The other" Richardson takes the bye after taking out Wolkwitz and Erks in the first two rounds - he earned it the hard way. However, his trans-brake failed and he left before the tree was activated, so he is not a winner.

That's it for Saturday, come on back tomorrow for the rest of eliminations, starting at 11 a.m.
