=== Undefeated championship season (2002) ===

The 2002 season was a defining period in Trauma's development.

The team competed in the NPPL Amateur A 10-man division, winning the Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and Atlantic City Opens. [3]

At the season-ending World Cup in Kissimmee, Florida, Trauma reached the amateur finals alongside Naughty Dogs, Shocktech and Brass Eagle Allstars.

Trauma defeated Shocktech, drew with Naughty Dogs and defeated Brass Eagle Allstars to win the tournament. [3]

The result completed a perfect season of five tournament victories.

Trauma finished first in the 2002 NPPL Amateur A standings with 250 ranking points, ahead of Naughty Dogs on 224 and Farside on 208. [9]

Including its 2001 World Cup victory, Trauma had won six consecutive NPPL Amateur 10-man events.

Contemporary WARPIG reporting described the achievement as unprecedented in the NPPL. [3]

The team was subsequently promoted to professional competition.
