Despite less schools overall, the tournament overall remained very competitive. Several top teams at the time fielded multiple teams, resulting in heated matches with both other schools and their own school. Ultimately, Max Schindler won undefeated playing solo, with the runner-up team being Ben Zhang, another solo player from Ladue. Ladue ended up having 4 of the 5 top individual players at the tournament, and 4 of the top 10 teams.
