	For the first time in the history of the event [[pre-filming]] was formalized in the rulebook. It was retroactive, and allowed combos filmed before the ruling to be submitted to the tournament. Commentators remarked on the predictability of the tournament, as spinners with combos already filmed were considered out of reach for the other participants.		For the first time in the history of the event [[pre-filming]] was formalized in the rulebook. It was retroactive, and allowed combos filmed before the ruling to be submitted to the tournament. Commentators remarked on the predictability of the tournament, as spinners with combos already filmed were considered out of reach for the other participants.

			Questionable judging moments were highlighted in the later rounds, notably Taichi1082 granting Beck a controversial 10/10 in originality for a [[parallel world]] technique, claiming it had never been done before.

	[[Saltient]] from [[MYPSC]] shocked spectators by revealing combos that used a cumulative 5 years of [[fingercross]] development that was largely unshared with the public. [[I.suk]] from [[UPSB]] became the first individual to win a world tournament more than once at the conclusion of the event.
