On Sunday, October 24, Shiloh had 4 scheduled matches; 2 in each tournament; he played 3 (lost the 2nd on purpose to make his semi finals) and had to default the 3rd but still placed third in that tournament.
Due to him completing Round 3 of the Atlanta Juniors Championship under 14s Level 4 round robin tournament, he arrived delayed but still in time for the semi-finals of the Blackburn GA Satellite Level 5 under 16s tournament.
