When all the points were counted and the boards were checked, the New Haven Register team consisting of Sheilia Genovese, Melinda Lincoln, Katie Barrows and Pat Ferrucci edged out the Regional Water Authority to win the Corporate Cup. The Holahan Family team of Jake and Molly Bergman, Susan Holahan and Mary Johnson took first place in the Friends & Family Category and the John C. Daniels Elementary School team of Mariah Johnson, Tiasia Jones, Darren Cross and Brittany Gurley won in the Student Category.
