MontBucks 7s had one division for women so things were fairly straightforward. Phoenixville beat Philly in the final so they are first and second. There were no third place matches but Harrisburg made the semifinals alongside a second Phoenixville side. Since you can only get points for 1 side in each tournament Harrisburg was given the third place points. For fourth place we looked back at the pool play results and of the remaining EPRU teams Northeast Philly earned the highest seed and was therefore awarded the fourth place points. The remaining teams were each given 1 point.
The men had two divisions, and fewer clubs with multiple sides, so it took a little extra work to sort out the standings but first and second were easy enough to figure out as Schuylkill River beat Reading in the men’s premier finals. The Molly Maguires earned the third place points over the Golden Roses due to a combination of factors - including but not limited to – a head to head victory in pool play, earning a higher seed in pool play, better point differential in the knockout rounds.
In the men’s open division Schuylkill River beat Montgomery Bucks for the title but Schuylkill’s first side already earned points so Montgomery Bucks was awarded the open division point and all of the remaining teams were given 1 point each.
