Columbian Women's IM Nadya Ortiz won the championship with 8.5/9. The half point loss is due to her reaching Barbados late due to flight delays. Mexican Youngster Luis Ibarra won the championship in boys section on tie break and gets his IM title and 9 round GM Norm with a score of 8/9. The Cuban FM Isam Ortiz (8/9) gets the second place on tie break despite defeating the champion.
