ATOS Atlanta finished second with 12 golds and 16 total medals, while Ironborn Jiu-jitsu claimed third place with 10 golds despite tying Scramble's 19-medal haul. Yellow belt John Bedford Blackburn IV from ATOS Atlanta and grey belt Cody Haru Truong from Ironborn Jiu-jitsu emerged as the event's top-rated individual performers, each winning multiple gold medals across their respective divisions. Lamiya Houie earned Tournament MVP honors.
The 461 matches across 109 divisions produced a 38% submission rate—10 percentage points below New Breed's 48% organizational average, indicating a points-heavy competition. Of 459 decided matches, 176 ended by submission while 272 were decided by points or decision.

ATOS Atlanta's second-place finish masked superior technical execution: the academy's 12 golds from 16 total medals reflects a 75% medal-to-entry conversion rate, outpacing Scramble's 68%. Ironborn Jiu-jitsu's 19-medal output distributed across 10 golds reveals depth across multiple divisions and belt levels. Gracie Barra (USA) accumulated 23 total medals (6 golds, 13 silver, 4 bronze)—the most medals of any program—but converted at only 26%, indicating consistent but non-dominant performances across 109 divisions represented by 45 academies.
