Battle 1: Even if Shredder Evolution enters the arena upside down so that the discs can hit (and manages to stay that way up for the entire battle), Big Nipper's armour is hard enough that it'll do very little. Shredder to be slammed around the arena enough for Lancashire to be given the win.

Battle 2: Really tough decision. Mantis could just pick up GC2 and simply carry it to the pit, and GC2 could just flip Mantis and I don't think it can self-right very easily at all. So it's pretty much whichever one gets side on first... I think GC2 takes it, purely because it's easier to get the lip of the flipper underneath than get a whole wedge in and then grab hold. Yorkshire to get their first win, but only just.

Battle 3: Another tough one. Iron Awe has the better weaponry, with a more powerful flipper and the decent axe as well, however I still don't believe that Iron Awe can self-right very easily, if at all. It managed to in the Challenge Belt in Extreme 2, but that was only after Barber-Ous buckled the side armour, causing one plate to point upwards, which meant it was on an angle making it easier to self-right with the axe. Normally, with the axe where it is, I doubt it can self-right consistently at all. So, if Roobarb can keep getting side on and get a decent flip or two, it'll be enough to give Middlesex the win.

Battle 4: R.O.C.S.'s pushing power isn't enough to resist King B well, and the lack of armour could cost it. Hampshire consolidate second place.
