This time the tournament took place in a different format – according to the principle of a mix tournament, where a total of 94 participants played in mixed women’s-men’s teams by lot.

Third place went to Indra Jurika, Ivars Kuznetsov and Ainars Trapučka.

The group of enthusiasts / beginners won Andris Krauklis and Juris Dejus, beating the second place winners Līga Markotas and Filipas Bermaks and the third place winners – Kristīne Kārkliņš and Aleksejs Vasiljevs.
