I've heard some information from a firsthand witness - corrections and/or additions to this info are welcome. From what I understand there are 7 people who advanced. The three mentioned earlier in this thread plus, Dave Saltzman and Randy Montgomery, plus two others (anyone know those two are?). These seven will play tomorrow (Sunday) in what is being called a "second semifinal" round.
That's all I know......
