The Cup featured 96 teams from five countries competing in three divisions. This marked the first time that teams from outside North America competed, with Argentina, Finland and New Zealand sending one team each.[2] Teams were allowed to register between 7 and 21 players, allowing up to 2,000 athletes to participate. Division 1 featured 60 teams,[3] Division 2 featured 24 teams, and the High School division featured 8 teams.[4]
Besides the sports games, the event also included a two-day festival. A variety of entertainers, foods, and wizardry shops took over the Island, while musical artists performed during breaks in game play.
