3. National (correct)
4. Busch (correct)
5. Cubs (correct)

10. 2nd (correct)

So, with 1 pass, Dr Kawishiwi has a score of 8 points!

So here are the final results:

As Ayame Crocodile has less passes than Dr Kawishiwi, he is our confirmed finalist! However, this isn't the end for Dr Kawishiwi. Here are the WILD CARD STANDINGS:

Dr Kawishiwi - 8 points w/1 pass
Teppishc - 7 points w/1 pass
