Only one mark was given by each team to the complete set.)

Runners–Up

In 2018–19, the Ox–fford's two sets finished in first and second places. Previously the Park Timers had made second place their own, and if for no other reason it seemed worthwhile to give an honourable mention to each year's runners–up.

The Ox–fford had finished in the top two places once before – in 2006–7 – and the only other team to have done this in the Cars & Vans 4U era is the New Castle (now known as the Park Taverners), in 2010–11. (The Crown Prince / Principals did it twice in the Sema era – in 2003–4 and 2005–6.)
