UPSET NIGHT! BIG DRAMA BOY AND ACE TRE ADVANCE
November 6, 2026 | SvS-US Circuit Divisional Semifinals
The first games in the SvS Sports App delivered two upsets, including a semifinal decided by just 0.14 points after a song-compliance penalty. No. 4 Big Drama Boy defeated No. 1 D’Ariq, 27.70–24.10, while No. 3 Ace Tre survived a three-point deduction to edge No. 2 Ed Bass, 24.47–24.33.
Big Drama Boy stops the top seed
D’Ariq entered the playoffs after consecutive victories in the SvS-US 500 and SvS-US 1000. The East Point, Georgia player earned the stronger judges’ total again, collecting 21.60 Performance Points against Big Drama Boy’s 20.20.
Public scoring changed the outcome. Big Drama Boy, representing Fort Collins, Colorado, earned 7.50 APRS to D’Ariq’s 2.50, securing a 3.60-point victory and a championship berth.
Ace Tre survives costly deduction
Dayton, Ohio’s Ace Tre and Milwaukee’s Ed Bass finished nearly even before the judging panel. Ed Bass earned 21.00 Performance Points, narrowly ahead of Ace Tre’s 20.80.
Ace Tre’s 6.67 APRS, compared with Ed Bass’s 3.33, initially gave him a 27.47–24.33 advantage. However, Ace Tre received a three-point deduction because his song was not radio-edited, reducing his final score to 24.47.
The penalty nearly erased his lead. Ace Tre held on by 0.14 points to advance.
