Editing 2025 MLPB Pro 3v3 World Championship

The '''2025 MLPB Pro 3v3 World Championship''' was a professional three-player [[paintball]] tournament held on '''1 August 2025''' at The Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Walt Disney World, Florida. Organised by [[Major League Paintball]] (MLPB), it featured four [[National Xball League]] professional teams and was broadcast live on ESPN2. [[Edmonton Impact]] won the championship, defeating [[San Diego Dynasty]] 6–5 in the final.[1][2][3]

== Organisation and qualification ==

MLPB advertised qualification for the four highest-ranked teams in the NXL professional season standings. The registered participants were Edmonton Impact, PaintballFIT, Red Legion and San Diego Dynasty.[1][2]

PBLeagues registered the championship as a Major League Paintball event, separately from the NXL's regular tournaments. Its qualification nevertheless linked it directly to the NXL professional competition.[1][2]

== Venue and broadcast ==

The tournament took place at The Stadium at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on 1 August 2025. Spectator admission was free, with gates scheduled to open at 9.30 am.[1]

MLPB advertised a live ESPN2 broadcast beginning at 10 am Eastern Time.[2]

== Format ==

The competition used three-player [[Xball]] on a field measuring 120 feet by 100 feet. Each player began a point with one hopper and two pods of paint.[2]

Matches lasted ten minutes. The match clock continued running between points until the final 30 seconds, when it stopped between points.[2]

The published tie-breaking procedure specified a 30-second, sudden-death one-on-one overtime. If neither player was eliminated, the team with the fastest point win during regulation would advance.[2]

The four teams were divided into two preliminary pairings, with the winner of each advancing to the final.[3]
