The six-day event is a double-elimination tournament. If Miller wins, she advances to the Winners' Bracket tomorrow against whoever emerges victorious between Southern California natives Tiffanie Hearn (San Diego) and Tiffanie Ward (Hacienda Heights). If Miller loses, she takes on the loser of Hearn-Ward in the Challengers' Bracket, also on Tuesday, but in an elimination bout.

Saturday's champion punches her ticket to London to represent the U.S. Olympic Team.
