In Elite Women, Andreia Freitas also secured 5th place, and the combination of performances earned BTT Seia the 3rd place on the Elite collective podium.

The highlight of the round belonged to the Master category, where the team dominated the competition by taking the collective victory and three individual triumphs: Raquel Magoito won in Master 40 Women, Bruno Carrilho in Master 45 Men and António Marques in Master 55 Men.
