"Best New Team" Award
Due to the sheer number of new teams at the 2010 venue in Doha, the organisers saw fit to institute the "Best New Team" Award, which was to be awarded to the highest-ranking team from a country which had not previously taken part in the competition. This award was given to Team UAE. In 2011 the award was given to Team Barbados and in 2012 - Team Swaziland.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or award:
“giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle,
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.””
—Clement Clarke Moore (1779–1863)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
