Camp Pendleton Raiders won the league’s
opening event in Las Vegas. In event number
two the Raiders got off to a slow start, losing
two of their first round games. That said,
they did advance to the ochos where they
beat New World Order 3-2, then lost in the
quarterfinals to Preferred Mob 5-2.
Like the Camp Pendleton Raiders, Preferred
Mod only won two of their preliminary
round games and bounced back to make
the Sunday Club Cut. From there it was one
tough game after another as they w orked
their way all the way to the finals where they
would meet Louisville Xtreme. Like the rest
of the event it was no cakewalk for Preferred
Mob but they did what they had to do to win
the game 5-3, sealing the first place finish—a
nice jump up from their 11th place finish
in Vegas. Division Two now has five teams

within 18 points of first place in the overall
standings in this anything goes division. It
should be fun to watch all season.
Division Three Xball had a nice 40 team
turnout in Texas. And like Division Two, this
division is ultra-competitive. TOG, winners
in Las Vegas and the favorite of many to win
Texas, didn’t make it out of the preliminary
rounds, just missing the Sunday cut and
finishing in 17th place. Str8Killas, who didn’t
play in Vegas lost their opening game in
the preliminary rounds and went on to win
only two of their first four games. But as is
the case in any sport, get hot, stay hot and
win is the goal and that’s what they did.
Str8Killas beat Notorious FSU in the ochos,
Baltimore Revo 2 in the quarterfinals, Tulsa
Rage in the semifinals and Seattle Ninjas in
the finals to win the event!
