Quarterfinals
Fermiers Flamboyants vs. Team Charlie
The first match of the day was played by the French team of Fermiers Flamboyants against the Danish champions Team Charlie.

astragon vs. Trelleborg
The first match of the table leader Trelleborg followed, who played against the team astragon. The fact that it would not be easy for the team of the publisher astragon was proven by the team of the tire manufacturer directly in the first round with a new record. The new high score for the First Bale is now 150 points! The Swedes won with two rounds over 1,000 points and entered the semifinals in spite of a good number of bales.
DJK Ehenfeld vs. Corteva Agriscience
During the play-in day, Corteva Agriscience showed themselves in very good form, so why did it not work out on the final day? Good question. Unfortunately, the American team did not manage to get to a bale count of 30 and could not work the multiplier well. The German team from DJK Ehenfeld promptly took advantage of this and knocked Corteva Agriscience out of the bracket after only two rounds.
mYinsanity vs. Agrall
The last quarterfinal match played by mYinsanity and Agrall. These two teams definitely met on equal terms.

In the last second, mYinsanity managed to deliver one bale, so that the tie was broken, and the team emerged from this tense match as semi-finalists.
