The action kept spectators hopping from field to field, expending almost as much energy as the players. Anxious paintball fans received a more than satisfying dose of adrenaline just by watching the games. The finals concluded with the Bounty Hunters in sixth, Rogue fifth, Nasty fourth, Invasion third, Shoguns second, and last year s series champions - Elite Force in first. Invasion and Nasty stand tied for first place at this point in the tournament series. The first place team chose 5 APL commemorative 2000 WGP Autocockers, and second place chose 5 compressed air tanks from Paintball Mania.
Teams advancing to the finals get to keep the flag if they can hang it.
Special desk clocks were given to all finalists and sportsmanship winners. Another cool thing about APL tournaments prize drawings are held for teams that don t make the finals. The tournament moved like clockwork, yet no one felt rushed. Great job by the American Paintball League, Paintball Plus and staff, and Paintball Training Institute referees.
