The '''2022 WNXL Sunshine State Major''' was the first regular-season tournament of the [[Women's National Xball League]] (WNXL). It took place during the [[2022 NXL Sunshine State Major]] on 11–13 March 2022 in Kissimmee, Florida.[1][2]

[[Dallas Vibe]] won the six-team competition undefeated, defeating [[Destiny (paintball team)|Destiny]] 5–3 in the final. The victory followed the league's introductory [[2021 WNXL World Cup exhibition|Fire and Ice exhibition]] in November 2021.[2][3]

== Venue and format ==

The tournament used the NXL World Cup site at 6000 West Osceola Parkway, Kissimmee. The official registration record listed six paid WNXL entries, fifteen-minute X-Ball matches and a six-point mercy limit.[1]

Each team played four preliminary matches. The leading four teams advanced to the semi-finals, followed by the championship final.[3]

Both semi-finals were decided by one point. Dallas Vibe then defeated Destiny to finish with six wins from six matches and become the first regular-season WNXL event champion.[2][3]

The published WNXL score record does not list a third-place match; the official final placings put the Heroines third and Femmes Fatales fourth.[3][4]

== Related women's competition ==

The wider NXL event also offered a separate Women's Open three-player division, using three-minute games. Destiny won that category ahead of Diamonds' Edge and Hooties Paintball. These results were separate from professional WNXL X-Ball.[1][4]
