With the creation of the Asia Pacific Regional Round, a semi-final is now held between the two lower-ranked combined scores for their memorials, with the team having the best memorials advancing directly to the world final.

The world semi-final was held on 3 October 2000 between Hamline University (United States) and the National University of Singapore. The world final was held on 5 October in the First Court of Justice of Rio. It was also decided that, from 2000, the best memorials award is to be named "Eilene M. Galloway Award for Best Memorials", sponsored by Ms. Marcia Smith and Prof. Isabella Diederiks-Verschoor.

The 2000 problem, Case Concerning a Nuclear Powered Satellite (Homeria v San Marcos), was written by Dr Leslie Tennen and Dr John Gantt (United States).
