In its inaugural year, the National Championship Ultimate Series (NCUS) lay $2,000 on the line for the women's team that earned the most points after three Cultimate tournaments: Trouble in Vegas (Tiv), Stanford Invite, and Centex. British Columbia (UBC) stepped up to the challenge and made the semi-finals of TiV, finals of the Stanford Invite, and won Centex, earning a total of 2828 NCUS points. UCLA also had 2828 points by making the finals of TiV, winning the Stanford Invite, and being a semi-finalist at Centex. UBC won the tie-breaker because its tournament win was more recent. UBC and UCLA were two of twelve women's teams to attend all three NCUS tournaments this season.
