91 beat North in that fall Tournament Final Chan wins first NLF 91 Beat North at TriStar (where North lost 3 games). 91 Beat Chan in OT going undefeated Chan beats both 91 and North at NLF. Even though Express LI pounded 91, a loss is a loss.
Common thing here is North never pulled out any of the tournament wins that most folks would say are needed to jump over 91.
