Editing 2000 NPPL World Cup

The '''2000 NPPL World Cup''' was a [[National Professional Paintball League]] tournament held in Kissimmee, Florida, in October 2000. Promoted by [[Jerry Braun]], it concluded the NPPL season and included five-man and ten-man competition.[1]

The Southern California Ironmen won professional ten-man and the professional season championship. [[All Americans]] won professional five-man.[1][2][3]

== Venue and organisation ==

The event expanded the site used in 1999, providing ten constructed fields incorporating Hyperball and inflatable bunkers. More than 170 teams entered five-man competition.[1]

Wind damaged netting supports and caused delays during the five-man preliminaries. Outstanding games were completed on Tuesday, followed by semi-finals and finals on Wednesday.[1]

The additional novice divisions were created by dividing Amateur B entries for this tournament.[1]

== Five-man results ==

All tables show final-round scores from WARPIG. ClassicScores corroborates the placings.[2][4]
