Bandit lifted a decent 337 for the Blades, adding a bit more bulk to their lead. Slinks fell at a weak 183 for the Rockers in response, furthering the deficit facing the Rockers at the midway point.

Valencia couldn't get a handle on her turn for Golden, falling with a measly 48 points. Bear answered with 276 for Whitewater, giving them a shaky initial lead. Dusty covered the deficit lightly with 298 for the Pilots, as neither team has gone on a big breakout attack yet.

Twinkie I answered with 496 for the Volcanoes, a stronger second attack pulling them ahead for now. Dustin's 343 keeps the Warriors ahead at the halfway point, but only by a slim margin.
