This year's results have created one of the most interesting leaderboards of the past years, as five teams finished on and above the 10-average level, separated by only 14 points from 5th to 1st place.
The depth of the field is best shown by the fact that highscores for any of the ten rounds went down to the 10th place. Spaceland Toxic won the bronze medals with only two of the ten highscores, and the two teams behind the Texas teams,... (more)
