2023 British ICPL
The 2023 British ICPL, listed by PBLeagues as the British Classic, was a ten-player classic paintball tournament held on 5–6 August 2023 at Mayhem Paintball in Abridge, Essex. It formed part of the European Classic Paintball League season. A contemporary Just Paintball report named So-manc Mafia as Pro winners and Corruption as A Division winners.[1][2][3]
Dates and format
[edit]The event record gives 5–6 August as one tournament weekend and specifies a ten-player format with 12-minute games.[1]
Just Paintball attended with a trade stand and described a mechanical-marker tournament at Mayhem. Its report, published on 7 August, recorded cold, wet conditions and heavy rain during the weekend.[2]
