Editing San Diego Dynasty (section)

=== Formation and early years (2001–2002) ===

Dynasty was formed in 2001 following the success of a group of young Californian tournament players, several of whom had previously competed together as the [[IronKids]]. The team's formation was organised with the involvement of [[Chuck Hendsch]], a paintball industry executive who became its original captain. Ryan Greenspan and Alex Fraige were among the founding players. [2][3]

The original 2001 NPPL roster included Greenspan, Fraige, [[Angel Fragoza]], [[Brian Cole]], [[Brad Maughan]], [[Rodney Squires]], [[Kevin Bredthauer]], Richard Loughran, Sonny Lopez, Jonny Pershek and Chuck Hendsch. [3]

Dynasty achieved immediate success, winning the professional 10-man division at the [[2001 NPPL World Cup]] in Orlando, Florida, during its first season. [4]

In 2002, Dynasty finished level with the Southern California Ironmen at the top of the NPPL professional 10-man season standings, with both teams recording 229 ranking points. [[Oliver Lang]], who had previously played for the Ironmen, was included on Dynasty's published professional roster that year. [5][6]
