== 2001 championship ==

The 2001 final was held at Challenge Park Xtreme near Joliet, Illinois, on 8–9 September. Although fourteen regional places had been planned, twelve teams competed in the final.[3][4] Rather than staging the championship in Aruba, the organisers recreated its theme at Challenge Park Xtreme and offered the winning team a holiday in Aruba.[3]

Matches were played in the enclosed Pursuit Park inflatable arena. Each game had a five-minute time limit. The scoring system awarded 50 points for a flag hang, 20 for a flag pull, seven for each opposing player eliminated and three for each surviving player, permitting a maximum score of 100 points.[3]

The twelve teams played 72 preliminary matches. War Machine, Xpress, BAM and Surge 2 advanced to a round-robin final. The standings remained close until the last match, in which Surge 2 defeated BAM to secure the championship ahead of War Machine. The winning Surge 2 line-up was Joe Hickox, Ed Ramsey and Travis Middlebrook.[3]
