In addition to the champions, the teams from Spain and Canada had highly commendable performances, securing 2 silvers and 1 bronze respectively. The Philippines exceeded expectations as the runner-up in GRAND MASTER MIXED, while Germany and the United Kingdom only managed to secure bronze medals in MASTER MIXED and OPEN respectively.

It was a beautiful tournament on the warm beaches of the American west coast. Over the course of 5 days and 225 matches, the spirit of Flying Disc in its Beach Ultimate form was palpable. Rivals, but not enemies; new friendships above all; cultural exchanges from very diverse backgrounds in terms of religion, race, or economy, came together in a unique experience that led them to live and enjoy a tournament where, while winning is important, what matters most is the experience of going home with a heart full of beautiful feelings.

Final standings:

OPEN: United States (gold), Spain (silver), United Kingdom (bronze)

WOMEN'S: United States (gold), Canada (silver), Spain (bronze)

MIXED: France (gold), Spain (silver), United States (bronze)
