The cut-down from the 54 preliminary round teams to 16 semifinal teams was tough. Pittsburgh Rampage was the final team to make the cut with 498 points. Brimstone Smoke missed the cut by a single point— and dozen or so teams missed the cut by a game. In the finals San Antonio X-Factor clearly separated themselves from the pack as they beat each of the three teams they played. Ac: Empire finished second with their two wins; Bad Company placed third and Los Angeles Infamous finished fourth. Once again Tim Montressor and the team put on an amazing event. The fields, the reffing, the staff and the games were top notch from start to finish. If you’re thinking about playing this event next year, you would be wise to get registered as soon as possible as this event will sell out again in 2019. The semifinal games were battles. Four brackets, each with four teams played a round robin schedule and only one team from each bracket would advance to the finals. Los Angeles Infamous, ac: Empire, Bad Company and San Antonio X-Factor wold each win their bracket advancing to the finals. The All Americans missed the finals cut by two points. www.ironcityclassic.com www.paintball.media 69
