The Cup featured 77 teams from 4 countries. Sixty of the teams competed in the D1 division, and 17 teams competed in the D2 division. The D1 winner was University of Texas, who defeated UCLA in the championship match.[5][6][7][8][9] This marked the first time that Middlebury College did not win the Cup. The D2 division was won by Sam Houston State University who defeated Loyola University New Orleans, making the championships an all-Texas affair.[10][11][12]

Due to the increasingly large number of official member teams, Division 1 was not open to all comers and was limited to 60 teams who earned their spot in the World Cup by competing in regional tournaments.[13] Division 2 consisted of other official teams who did not earn their spot at regionals but still wanted to compete.

gollark: Lua is very elegant but annoying sometimes and libraries.
gollark: Rust's really nice but I don't actually want to care about lifetimes all the time, and the compiler is slow. Python is very fast for me to prototype with but not very robust. JS is the same but slightly worse, and I only use it because web platform. ML-family things could be cool but have bad tooling and libraries.
gollark: I dislike all programming languages to varying degrees while still using them.
gollark: At least it has generics now, after several years of it not having them and people claiming they weren't needed.
gollark: The best way to describe the problem is probably that it's just generally very hostile to abstraction.
