The biggest contest of the day, at least in terms of heavyweights squaring off with the most on the line, came down to Top Select 17 Elite Blake and Hou Skyline 17 Royal going toe-to-toe in one of the eight challenge rounds Thursday afternoon in the 17 Open division at the USAV GJNC in Indianapolis.

The two clubs have proven themselves among the very best but circumstances brought them together earlier than most would have liked to see. As someone commented as the match was going on, it was worthy of being a semifinal showdown. Instead, one was given the boot before Day 4 even started.
