Following the tournament was another very exciting match-up as members from Team Canada and from Team USA battled it out for honour. The country vs country match up was well received and kept the audience riveted to the very end as after 12 matches, it was tied at 6 a piece. The hero of the day, Marco Carbone in the heavy weight division, battled hard and took Team Canada to victory for the third year in a row. Team Canada consisted of students from the Windsor Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy with Instructor Ron Dupuis and from the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy of Windsor and Instructor Jeff Robert (yes 2 different schools).
