At this year ’ s World Cup in November all of the Pro teams will be playing what is called the NXL Champions Cup ( on location at the World Cup ). Here ’ s where it gets interesting … each Pro team that wins a Major event this season will get a pass through to Sunday play at the Champions Cup . If the same team wins more than one , the next best team will take the available spot . There will be three of those spots , one each for the Sunshine State Major , Mid Atlantic Major and Chicago Major . And finally , the highest ranked Pro Xball team from Europe will also get a pass through to Sunday play at the Champions Cup . Whew ! Got it ?
Oh yeah , one more thing … The four teams that get a pass through to Sunday at the Champions Cup will play a round-robin tournament to determine their Sunday seeding — as well as to give them a chance to play without going into Sunday cold .
Moving on .
The Pro Games
On the heels of their first-place win in the Pro Xball division at the NXL Texas Open , Tampa Bay Damage kept their roll going with four straight preliminary round wins in Philly . Red Legion , San Diego Dynasty , Houston Heat , Baltimore Revo , Seattle Thunder and Edmonton Impact each won three of their four prelim games . In addition to the above seven teams , MLKings , San Antonio X-Factor and Seattle Uprising made the Sunday cut . www . paintball . media
