Discrepancies
Where a source disagrees with the record on this page, the page keeps the record and notes the difference here.
- Kyle Craft says the second-place player finished on 10 (+96), six differential ahead of his 10 (+90); the TD's results (Chris Hines) give Ryan Schueller 10 (+196).[3]
- Pat Garcia thinks the event was still ruled a win for James Lafferty, who declined the final; the hub and the TD's results (d722) record Ryan Schueller as the winner of the Final Confrontation.[6]
- Michael Girard labels the Brian Garrison vs. Ryan Schueller feature match 'Game 2', but Garrison's own report lists it as his Game 3 (full win by 20), and Tim Guzman's report has Guzman playing Schueller in Game 2.[13]
- Michael Girard labels the Brian Garrison vs. Ryan Schueller feature match 'Game 2', but Garrison's own report lists it as his Game 3 (full win by 20), and Tim Guzman's report has Guzman playing Schueller in Game 2.[13]
