Editing 1999 ZAP International Amateur Open

'''1999 ZAP International Amateur Open''' was a [[paintball]] tournament held at [[Three Rivers Paintball]] near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1999. An edition of the [[International Amateur Open]], it included three-player, five-player and ten-player competitions alongside a trade show and players' party. [1]

P&L Paintball Factory Team won the ten-player competition, a result also documented by ''Paintball Times''. The Mob won amateur five-player, Sharp Shooters won novice five-player, and Dislexic Dogs won three-player. [1][2]

WARPIG records the following final results. ClassicScores corroborates the first four places in the ten-player and both five-player divisions. [3][4][5][6][7]

In the ten-player and five-player tables, first to fourth and fifth to eighth places were decided in separate final groups. Points should therefore be compared within each group. [3][4][5]
