2006 MXball
The 2006 MXball season was a Mexican paintball competition associated with three-player X-Ball. Later accounts describe 16 teams and an opening round on 11–12 February, but no complete calendar or final season standings have been verified.[1][2]
Format and programme
[edit]Saraí Fuentes García's 2009 UNAM study describes three-player matches with two eight-minute periods. It reports 16 teams at the opening round, independent refereeing and ten rounds planned.[1]
In November 2008, the MXball promotion-staff account Takas@mxball3 described 2006 as the league's first year, stating that 16 teams registered and at least eight events were held.[2] Ten planned rounds and at least eight reported events do not establish a complete final calendar.
Recovered event chronology
[edit]The following entries derive from the later UNAM account. They are a partial chronology, with the league attribution of the Puebla entry unresolved.[1][2]
| Reported dates | Event | Reported details |
|---|---|---|
| 11–12 February 2006 | Opening Round | Sixteen teams; independent refereeing |
| 8–9 April 2006 | Puebla event | Described as a third stage; local radio and newspaper coverage |
| 26–27 August 2006 | Mexico City event | Picacho–Ajusco road |
| November 2006 | Finals | Xtreme Planet named as winner |
The UNAM study includes Puebla in its general tournament chronology, whereas Takas@mxball3 stated that all MXball events in 2006 were held in Mexico City.[1][2] The available evidence does not resolve whether the Puebla entry belongs to the same circuit.
Reported outcome and final standings
[edit]The UNAM chronology reports Xtreme Planet winning the November final.[1] This later report does not supply a complete finishing order, season points or match scores.
No contemporary final results table, complete season standings or independently corroborated list of all rounds has been verified. Xtreme Planet's reported finals victory is therefore distinguished from a verified final season classification.
