The first day of MLP St. Petersburg is in the books, so let’s look at the group standings after Wednesday’s matches. 

It’s worth noting that the Florida Smash and Chicago Slice were the only teams from Group A to play on Wednesday, so three teams in that group are currently tied with no matches played.

As a reminder, the top 4 teams in each group will have a chance to compete for standings points on Super Sunday in the Sunshine State. 

Here is a breakdown of how Sunday’s matches will work and how many standings points will be up for grabs:  

• Group A #1 v. Group B #1: Winner receives 25 standings points; loser gets 18   

• Group A #2 v. Group B #2: Winner receives 15 standings points; loser gets 12   

• Group A #3 v. Group B #3: Winner receives 10 standings points; loser gets 8   

• Group A #4 v. Group B #4: Winner receives 6 standings points; loser gets 4   

• 5th place teams receive 1 standings point each; 6th place team receives 0.
