Editing Sacramento XSV (section)

=== Formation (2004) ===

XSV was formed following the 2003 professional paintball season, during a period of division between the NPPL and the newly established [[National Xball League]] (NXL).

Several players from the Los Angeles Ironmen and other professional organisations left their existing teams to compete outside the restrictions imposed by the original NXL player contracts.

The new organisation was led by Rich Telford and included [[Micah McGlocklin]], [[Matty Marshall]] and [[Nicky Cuba]]. [[Thomas Taylor]] was another early member. [1][2][7]

The team competed under the name '''Excessive''', abbreviated to '''XSV'''.

During its first season, XSV participated in the NPPL Super 7, PSP Division 1 X-Ball and the European [[Millennium Series]]. [1][2]

The team finished second at the 2004 NPPL Denver Open, losing the professional final to [[Infamous (paintball team)|Los Angeles Infamous]]. [3]

XSV also finished second at the NPPL Las Vegas Open later that season and ended 2004 in second place in the professional Super 7 standings behind [[San Diego Dynasty]]. [8]
