Editing 2010 Fed Cup

The '''2010 Fed Cup''', also referred to as the '''Federation Cup''', was a British [[paintball]] tournament held on 18–19 September 2010 at the Balls Out Promotions venue at Rodbaston College, near Penkridge, Staffordshire, home of the [[Central Premier Paintball Series]]. Birmingham Disruption won the M7 competition, Evil Addiction won M5 and London Tigers 2 won the M5 Fed Plate.[1][2]

== Format and schedule ==

The event brought together teams from the CPPS and [[National Southern Paintball League]]. The advertised main formats were M7 X Ball race-to-four and M5 race-to-two. Qualifying was scheduled for Saturday 18 September, followed by the finals on Sunday 19 September.[1]

Teams that did not qualify for the main finals could register for a separate five-man Fed Plate on Sunday, without a race-to format or an additional entry fee. CPPS and NSPL divisional season winners were offered free entry to the tournament.[1]

== CPPS M7 championship play-off ==

Following the final round of [[2010 CPPS]], Manchester Firm and Disruption were level on 558 M7 Super League points. On 6 September 2010, organiser Rich Harris announced that a play-off at the Fed Cup would determine the CPPS champions.[3]

A Manchester Firm statement published on 3 November subsequently described its X Ball team as second overall in the CPPS behind Birmingham Disruption. That statement did not give a play-off score. These season positions are separate from the Fed Cup M7 classification, in which Firm finished fourth.[2][4]

== Video coverage ==

Gambo47 published ''Fed Cup2010 video.mp4'' on 20 September 2010, describing it as footage from the weekend at Rodbaston. Benhbrum published ''federation cup 2010 paintball'' on 23 September; its description identifies footage filmed on the Sunday and credits Ben Hyett and Phil Yeadon with camerawork and Hyett with editing.[5][6]
