Editing Road To World Cup (section)

== Brass Eagle programme and Mexican participation ==
An announcement issued by [[Brass Eagle]] on 28 February 2002 described an international three-player Road To World Cup programme with feeder tournaments, regional qualifiers and a final. Mexico was included in its proposed regional programme, but the Mexican venue remained to be determined.[2] This announcement documents plans, rather than a completed Mexican tournament or its results.

A separate contemporary report submitted by Brass Eagle's Nathan Greenman to WARPIG records an international final at Challenge Park Xtreme in Joliet, Illinois, on 21 September 2002. Guadalajara's Team Furia won the event.[3]

These are the reported placings at the American final, not Mexican domestic season standings.[3]

The report also names Mexico's Section 8 Red and Section 8 Blue among teams awarded World Cup air tickets through a prize draw. Those awards were separate from the final's competitive placings.[3] The report does not identify these teams as the three unnamed teams in Fuentes García's account.
