Several new sponsors this year means more prizes and bigger prizes. We've upped our game!

Open: Split cash prize, with awards for the top 3 in Men's/Nonbinary and Women's/Nonbinary.

Recreational, Intermediate, Advanced & Masters: Prizes and awards for the top 3 in Men's/Nonbinary and Women's/Nonbinary in each category.
