- Second Place: Eduardo Ordonez, Gwendolyn Gonzalez-Montero and Mohamed Elbatouty solved seven problems, winning $500
- Third Place: Amr Elfayoumy and Omar Elfayoumy solved six problems, winning $250
The problem set for the competition was collaboratively prepared by Richard Lentz, Larry Snedden, Dr. Kevin Pfeil, Dr. Iman Vakilinia, Dr. Corey Pittman and Dr. Anirban Ghosh. Dr. Karthik Umapathy managed the registration and DomJudge competition system. Cesar Castellon managed the implementation and configuration of the DomJudge system.
