Are the final individual and team standings any longer available? It appears that the website supernationalsiv.com/ is gone.
Here you go!

Something seems to have been lost in the organization and maintenance of USCF national event information.
Compare:
uschess.org/tournaments/2008/elem/
uschess.org/tournaments/2008/usopen/
uschess.org/tournaments/2009/usopen/
uschess.org/tournaments/2009/super/
The underlying mechanism for presenting the various data and information for these nationals was originally developed by Al Losoff, and the data was often hosted on sites maintained by him or by Phil Smith, long before the 2007 replacement/redesign project on uschess.org. Marty Hirsch, Brian Mottershead and I wrapped templates around Al’s code and sites to integrate it with uschess.org, and designed the broader navigation, which can be see in operation in the 2008 examples above.
The 2009 examples above show this being forgotten or ignored. However, the 2009 K-12 event is integrated effectively, and you will find that you can navigate all the way back to results from the 2006 K-12 by going back one year at a time, and forward again to 2009, and laterally to other Nationals:
uschess.org/tournaments/2009/k12/
The supernationalsiv.com web site was a project that appeared without the USCF web team’s participation or even awareness, and I was surprised that the framework of maintaining continuity of data for the Elementary, JHS, and High School events was perhaps not to the liking of whoever chose to create the separate site. It was never integrated with uschess.org in any way, and did not carry USCF branding consistent with USCF’s presentation of itself on the web, and now it appears to simply be gone. Odd.
