This year, the Carinthian Academic Championships featured an excellent line-up of 10 teams. The teams played in two groups of five. The first and second teams in each group advanced to the semi-finals. The remaining teams played for their respective rankings. The “Finland” group was won by the team “Die Aufgaiger” from Villach. Second place in this group went to the team “Awesome hba.” In the ‘Sweden’ group, the team “HBA Lawyers” celebrated winning the group.

Once again this year, USI Klagenfurt was able to send a strong team to Innsbruck for the Unisport Austria Championships in mixed volleyball.
A total of two rounds were played in different groups of three. Based on the rankings of the individual teams, this resulted in a “gold” group (winners of each group), a ‘silver’ group (runners-up of each group), and a “bronze” group (third-place finishers of each group). In the “gold” group, places 1-3 were determined, in the ‘silver’ group places 4-6, and in the “bronze” group places 7-9.
