Mens Jensen tog sig af sejren, så handlede dagens afslutning også om at få fordelt de fem pladser til Challenge Touren i næste sæson. Her var Jesper Kennegård, som vinder af ranglisten allerede inden denne uge, og Niclas Johansson sikre på at kvalificere sig. Jeff Winther på tredjepladsen og Joakim Rask på femtepladsen endte også med at holde sin plads i top-5 efter dagens nervepirrende runde, hvor de selv spillede sekundære roller.
[While Jensen took care of the victory, the end of the day was also about distributing the five places for the Challenge Tour next season. Jesper Kennegård, winner of the rankings even before this week, and Niclas Johansson were sure to qualify. Jeff Winther in third place and Joakim Rask in fifth place also ended up holding his place in the top-5 after the day's nerve-wracking round, where they played secondary roles themselves.]
