The tournament was sponsored for the 13th year by Imperial Oil Limited.

-
A total of 177 applications were received from teams with hopes of securing a spot in the tournament - 141 of those were presented on the opening day for applications. Regretfully, we were unable to accommodate 16 of those teams.
