With the Rio Open in Brazil this past weekend, the Masters International Open ran right alongside it as in previous years. Previously known as Masters & Seniors, this is the first year the Senior divisions were absent as every division is a master division starting from 1 to 6.

The team results for the championship are as follows:
1 – Nova União – 205

For the Master 1 division, the double-gold champion was Paulo Jose Pinto of Alliance who won both the heavyweight division and the absolute.
