- Notes
- Winners of all three leagues were announced at the 20 August 2026 final session, but the pages Ludux checked do not list them, so no winner is recorded. The entrant figure is the 196 'active agents' (86 active teams) reported by anac.cs.brown.edu. The registration date shown is the final submission deadline.
