Midwest Final
May 28

The course has eaten the Midwesterners alive, as only 12 of the hundreds that were invited to take a shot at it got to summit the Warped Wall. That left the door open for the other 18 on the final bracket to try their luck at the Final course. Only 15 will get on the plane to Vegas.
