2023 WCPL Southern California Classic
The 2023 WCPL Southern California Classic was a paintball tournament held on 18–19 February 2023 at Ambush Paintball Park in Moorpark, California. Organised by Fred Schultz, it opened the World Classic Paintball League's 2023 season.[1][2]
Ten teams contested the open ten-player competition. Dynasty Old School won the three-team round-robin final, followed by OG Ironmen and Los Angeles Ironmen.[2]
Venue and organisation
[edit]PBLeagues listed Ambush Paintball Park at 8643 Shekell Road, Moorpark, California.[1]
The WCPL's preview described a mounds field constructed with earthworks, berms and ridges. Its subsequent event report stated that two fields were used.[2][3]
Format
[edit]The event registration category was Open 10v10 (Sat–Sun), with 12-minute games. PBLeagues recorded ten registered and paid teams.[1]
The preliminary competition used round-robin play and a maximum score of 100 points per game. The WCPL report stated that a perfect preliminary performance would have produced 900 points.[2]
The leading three teams advanced to a separate round-robin final. Places fourth to tenth were determined by preliminary results.[2]
Three-team final
[edit]Dynasty Old School, OG Ironmen and Los Angeles Ironmen contested the final round. Dynasty Old School finished first, OG Ironmen second and Los Angeles Ironmen third.[2]
OG Ironmen and Los Angeles Ironmen were separate entries. PBLeagues records the runner-up as Ironmen, while the contemporary WCPL report identifies that team as OG Ironmen.[2][4]
