Sixteen teams competed in each subject. Tournament director was Keith Rowland, assistant principal of Christiansburg High.
The conference is managed by a board made up of principals from the participating high schools. Edlow Barker, principal of Radford High School, is chairman of the board.

During the regular season in the East Division of the conference, Blacksburg High finished first in English, math and social studies and Radford High finished first in science and the all-around categories.
In the West Division, Pulaski was first in math and tied with Rural Retreat High for top standing in the All-Around category.
