The tournament comprised 79 five-player entries across the amateur, novice and rookie divisions, together with ten Young Guns teams and twelve stock-class teams.

The novice and amateur preliminary rounds began on Friday, with the rookie preliminaries following on Saturday. Semifinal and final games were held on Sunday. Rain affected the later preliminary games and continued during the Sunday rounds.[1][2]
Young Guns and stock-class games used a smaller field with Game On Gear bunkers. Young Guns was a three-player competition for players aged 15 or younger at the start of the season who were not experienced tournament players.[1]


The five-player competition used the Pan Am Circuit's limited-paint format, under which each player was restricted to 200 rounds. The restriction reduced the firepower difference between semiautomatic and pump markers. Chipley Custom Machine attracted particular attention by competing with customised [[WGP Sniper]] pump markers, including a preliminary-round victory over the [[Naughty Dogs]].[1][2]

Exile and the Naughty Dogs finished the amateur semi-finals level on 186 points. As they had not played each other during that round, their preliminary scores determined which team advanced. Exile qualified for the finals.[1]
Young Guns and stock-class matches were played as three-player games on a smaller field constructed with Game On Gear bunkers. The Young Guns competition was intended for players aged 15 or younger who did not have established tournament experience.[1][2]
 
Refereeing was provided by members of No Limit, Phoenix Heat, Wildcards and Sudden Impact. Randy Wood served as the ultimate judge.[1]
