Editing 2010 CPPS

The dates are documented by contemporary reports and organiser announcements. Saturday Funball formed a preceding programme at Rounds 2 and 3, rather than an additional numbered round.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

== Season structure ==

The first three rounds established the M5 seedings used for the subsequent Premier League and Championship structure. The season's final organiser tables cover M7 Super League Race 4, M5 Premier League Race 2, M5 Championship and M5 Conference.[1][2][11]

Round 3 remained at the existing Midland Tournament Paintball Centre because planning issues had delayed a proposed move. Round 4 moved to South Staffordshire College's Rodbaston Campus near Penkridge.[6][8]

== Final standings ==

=== M7 Super League ===

Rich Harris published the following points totals on 6 September 2010. Manchester Firm and Disruption were level on 558 points, with a championship play-off announced for the Fed Cup. Manchester Method was explicitly identified as third.[2]
