Editing 2007 MXball

The '''2007 MXball''' season was a Mexican [[paintball]] competition organised by [[MXball]]. Contemporary forum records preserve qualification information before finals announced for 16–17 June, while a later UNAM study reports [[Xtreme Planet]] as the winner of the June event.[1][2][3] No complete final season standings have been verified. A proposed second season was suspended in July because insufficient teams had entered.[4]

== Competition and recovered dates ==
In a November 2008 account, the MXball promotion-staff account Takas@mxball3 described the league as using three-player [[X-Ball]] throughout 2007.[5]

The following dates appear in the recovered records. They do not constitute a complete calendar of every round.

{| class="wikitable"
! Dates !! Event !! Basis of the record
|-
| 17–18 February 2007 || [[2007 MXball First Round|First Round]] || Listed as the opening round in the later UNAM chronology
|-
| 17–18 March 2007 || [[2007 MXball Tepeji del Río Event|Tepeji del Río–Nauticopa event]] || Listed as the second round in the later UNAM chronology
|-
| 16–17 June 2007 || [[2007 MXball Finals|Finals]] || Contemporary announcement; later study reports an outcome
|}

The February and March dates derive from Saraí Fuentes García's 2009 study.[3] The June finals notice, posted by aiba on LiveTheSport on 8 June 2007, named Xtreme Paintball at kilometre 11.5 on the Ajusco road as the venue.[2]

== Recovered qualification records ==
On 8 June, aiba posted a correction titled ''Tabla de posiciones hasta la 4ta fecha'', explaining that the league website's May standings had contained upload errors.[1]

The accompanying text identified three teams as already qualified:

{| class="wikitable"
! Group !! Qualified team
|-
| A || DF Traffic
|-
| B || Seccion 8
|-
| C || Xtreme Planet
|}

Three places remained undecided. The post named Raxxas, Heaven and Hell, Fearless, Black Mamba, Antrax and Pintura Fresca as the teams still contesting them.[1]

These records describe qualification before the finals. They do not establish a complete list of finalists or final finishing positions. The numerical standings image accompanying the post has not been recovered.

== Reported finals outcome and final standings ==
Fuentes García's study lists the Mexico City event on 16–17 June and states that Xtreme Planet won.[3] This is a later secondary report of an event outcome, distinct from the contemporary qualification snapshot.

No contemporary final results table, complete season points table, runner-up or finals match scores has been verified. Xtreme Planet's reported June victory is therefore not presented as a reconstructed final season standings table.

== Suspension of the proposed second season ==
On 4 July 2007, the LiveTheSport account Administrador announced registration for a second MXball season that year. The notice required at least ten paid teams by 7 July and stated that the competition would not proceed if that minimum was not reached.[4]

On 9 July, the administrator account KF announced that the proposed second season was suspended because of insufficient entries.[4] This documents the suspension of that proposed competition, rather than permanent dissolution of MXball.
