2009 MPL

The 2009 MPL was a Mexican Paintball League season with four rounds listed in Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara. The first three rounds are represented in the recovered league rankings; a fourth round in Mexico City was announced for 31 October–1 November 2009.[1][2][3] TJ All Starz Black led Abiertos (Open) and Enjambre Black led Novatos (Novice) after three rounds. These positions are not verified final season results.[2]

Calendar

Round	Listed dates	Event	Recovered record
1	14–15 March 2009	Mexico City Open First Round	Official results and first-round rankings
2	23–24 May 2009	Monterrey Open	Event information and round points
3	22–23 August 2009	Guadalajara Open	Contemporary team report and round points
4	31 October–1 November 2009	Mexico City Open Final Round	Official announcement; results not verified

The first three dates follow the contemporary calendar reproduced by Saraí Fuentes García.[1] That calendar provisionally listed the fourth round for 7–8 November, subject to the PSP World Cup dates. The league's later announcement instead gave 31 October–1 November.[1][3]

Competition

The league offered Abierta (Open) for five-player teams and Novatos (Novice) for three-player teams.[4] Contemporary official pages used the MPL name.[3][4][5]

Round records

The official opening-round report named TJ All Stars Black as Open winner and Mariposas Salvajes as Novice winner.[5] A contemporary Templarios report identified Naughty Paintball as the Novice champions at Monterrey.[6]

The following table shows the highest point award in each division at the first three rounds, as recorded in the cumulative rankings. Point awards are distinguished from independently recovered event finishing-order tables.[2]

Division	Mexico City, round 1	Monterrey, round 2	Guadalajara, round 3
Abiertos	TJ All Starz Black — 100.0	TJ All Starz Black — 100.0	Overhead Black — 100.00
Novatos	Mariposas Salvajes — 100.0	Naughty Paintballs — 100.0	Naughty Paintballs — 100.0

For the announced fourth round, the league advertised cash prize funds of 65,000 Mexican pesos for Abierta and 26,000 pesos for Novatos.[3]

Recovered standings after three rounds

The official ranking page archived on 18 September 2009 is explicitly headed Ranking General (Eventos 1, 2 y 3). It contains 35 Abiertos entries and 51 Novatos entries, with separate point columns for Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara.[2]

The tables below reproduce its positions, team names and published totals. They are standings after three rounds, not final season standings.[2]

The published Abiertos totals for Astekas (59.1), Dirty Seven (54.4) and Fenix (44.5) differ from the sums of their displayed round points (59.9, 54.8 and 44.6 respectively). The published totals are retained without correction.[2]

Final season standings

No verified final season standings or season-champion announcement has been recovered. The September table predates the announced fourth round and contains no fourth-round points; its leaders are therefore not identified here as season champions.[2][3]
