Contemporary announcements advertised the tournament for &#039;&#039;&#039;18–22 October 1995&#039;&#039;&#039; and billed it as the sixth annual World Cup.[1][2]<br /> <br /> [[Aftershock]] won the professional ten-man competition, while the [[All Americans]] won the professional five-man competition. [[Team Image|Image]] won amateur ten-man and Phantom Force won amateur five-man.[3]<br /> <br /> == Venue and organisation ==<br /> The World Cup followed the [[1995 NPPL Chicago Open]] as the final tournament on the published five-event league schedule.[1]<br /> <br /> Paintball World was a commercial woodland paintball field behind the Old Town entertainment complex in Kissimmee, within the greater Orlando area. The World Cup had relocated there from New York in 1994.[2]<br /> <br /> Contemporary league advertising announced more than US$100,000 in cash and prizes for the 1995 tournament. Refereeing was advertised as being supplied by three NPPL teams, with at least four referees on each five-man field and six on each ten-man field.[1]<br /> <br /> == Advertised programme ==<br /> The published programme scheduled five-man competition for Wednesday and Thursday, followed by ten-man competition on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The event listing advertised capacity limits of 42 five-man teams and 64 ten-man teams; these were entry limits rather than confirmed attendance figures.[1]<br /> <br /> Competitors were permitted to bring their own paintballs. Advertised team entry fees were US$500 for five-man, US$1,500 for amateur ten-man and US$2,000 for professional ten-man.[1]<br /> <br /> == Results ==<br /> ClassicScores records the following top-four finishes in the professional and amateur competitions.[3]<br /> <br /> === Ten-man ===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> !
