Seed number 3 was a Japanese player named Shoko Kusuhara who visited Texas for the summer, back home being one of the coaches for the Japan Paralympic Team.

On the top half of the bracket, Texas Wesleyan’s Eduardo Tomoike rated 2541 met Kusuhara, battle which he won score 3-0, whilst on the bottom half another Texas Wesleyan player, Derron Douglas who came in with a rating of 1972 but actual level was probably around 2350 gave a great scare to Li Kewei, leading 2 games to 1 and 8-4 in points.
