[[Los Angeles Infamous]] won the professional division, MVPS Dark Ops won the amateur division, and Florida Annihilators won the open five-player competition.[2]

== Competition ==

The tournament used classic-format competition, with separate professional and amateur 10-player standings and an open five-player division.[2][3] Infamous's contemporary account of its victory identifies the team's use of mechanical Planet Eclipse Emek and GTEK M170R markers.[4]

In each 10-player division, nine teams advanced from the preliminary round, with three qualifying from each bracket. The five-player preliminary round advanced seven teams. Each division concluded with a three-team final round.[3]

== Professional competition ==

Los Angeles Infamous and Kapp Factory both accumulated 109 points in the final round. PBLeagues placed Infamous first and Kapp Factory second, ahead of the All Americans. Their final-round meeting was recorded as 14–11 to Infamous.[2][3]
