There were a number of very close matches in the knockout competition.  In the repechage section, PWC Fasttrack pipped BNP Flyers 51-50 and Macquarie Generals edged Telstra Tornados 89-85, with both losing teams getting another chance in round 2.

Unluckiest losers in the knockout section were ANZ Incredibles, who also lost by a single point, 23-22 against Westpac Harriers, with four other matches in this section also being decided by less than 10 points.  The three incoming teams met in a three-way match, courtesy of the odd number of teams in the competition, with Allianz Experience triumphing and moving through to round 2.
