Results
Round Robin #1
The Round Robin structure was the same as the past few Slams, including the previous Street Fighter Slam; there are two separate Round Robin events where each team plays each other team, and 3 points are awarded for a win on Day 1, and 5 points for a win on Day 2.
Team Nephew, the winners of the previous Slam, got off to a slow start, going 2-3 in matches on the day for 36 points. Meanwhile, Team Shine jumped out to the first day lead, winning their sets 5-0 for 48 points. Not far behind was Team ElChakotay with 45 points despite only winning their matches 3-2.

Round Robin #2
Team ElChakotay surged into the lead on Day 2. Despite once again only winning their matches 3-2 overall, their three wins were 4-1, 4-1, and 5-0 in sets, which vaulted them firmly into first place with 130 points, due to each win being worth 5 points. Team Diaphone overtook Team Shine for second place, going 4-1 in matches with a few big wins themselves. Despite finishing with one fewer win in overall matches, Diaphone's team ended up with 116 points to Team Shine's 113. Team Brian_F, affectionately called "Team Unc", struggled during the Round Robin and ended with zero match wins and 69 points, but all teams were still alive for finals day.
