* Andy Hoang and Erik Salgado became the first team to win two NSSC titles.
* Beginning with this event, rules were normalized to more closely match [[NASPA]] [[rules]], including the use of a 25- rather than 22-minute clock, and an explicit reference to NASPA rules for situations not covered in the event rules.
* This was the first year in which fourth-graders were permitted to compete.
