Mark Klusa, Collin Anderson, Isaac Wiebe, and Gabriel Hamm, all with 4-1, tied for first in the Open section. The 1st to 3rd prizes were pooled, along with the U1900 prize for which Klusa qualified, and then split 4 ways. This left the 4th place prize (which was smaller than the U1900 prize) available to be shared amongst the group who scored 3-2; Svitlana Protsyuk, Jackson Stordeur, Yakiv Gres, and Joe Zhou. Eros Villamar, Blair Rutter, and Abdul Mooez, all with 2.5-2.5, shared the 2nd U1900 prize.
