Editing 1999 NPPL Dallas Open

The '''1999 NPPL Dallas Open''' was a [[National Professional Paintball League]] tournament held in Dallas, Texas, from 30 April to 2 May 1999. Organised by [[Smart Parts]], it was the second NPPL tournament of the season. Ten-man competition ran throughout the event, with five-man competition on 1–2 May.[1]

[[Avalanche]] won the professional ten-man title, [[Farside (paintball team)|Farside]] won Amateur A, Hostile Takeover won Amateur B and Da Boyz won the five-man competition.[2][3][4]

== Organisation and playing fields ==

The tournament attracted 46 ten-man teams and 24 five-man teams. Layouts included ravines and brush, level woodland with constructed bunkers, a mound field and a Sup'Air field.[1]

The All Americans and OBR refereed ten-man competition, while G-Force officiated the five-man event.[1]

== Weather interruption ==

Strong winds and lightning interrupted play on Sunday morning, halting ten-man semi-finals and five-man preliminary games. The NPPL rules committee considered contingency arrangements while teams waited for conditions to improve.[1]

Remaining ten-man games were moved to the mound, cypress and Sup'Air fields. Play resumed after the strongest winds and lightning passed, with finals taking place in light rain and muddy conditions.[1]

== Ten-man competition ==

Lockout led the professional preliminary rankings with 494 points. The semi-finals produced a final comprising Ton Ton Flinguers, Avalanche, the Southern California Ironmen and Lockout.[5][6]

Avalanche won with 183 points, securing a second consecutive professional ten-man victory after winning the Las Vegas tournament.[1][2]
