5th	5th through 8th place is determined by descending order of the scores of the losing teams in games V1-V4. In case of ties, notify director Rustin Buck. A tie for 5th/6th will most likely be decided by a quick mini-round (5 questions, followed by sudden death if score still tied), since qualification for State is at stake. Ties for any other places will most likely be determined by coin-flip.
