In the Trivia department, this is the first time that 3 married couples (Debbie & Michael Rosenberg, Cecilia & Kevin Dwyer Rimstedt, and Emma Kolesnik & Adam Grossack, who will be married before Herning) have played on USA teams in one World Championship. There are also 2 pairs of siblings: Adam & Zach Grossack and Cecilia and Sandra Rimstedt on teams this year. For trivia buffs, there have been several times when 2 married couples represented the US, and there is at least one year when three married couples either played or were NPCs.
