Editing 2017 World Paintball Championship

'''2017 World Paintball Championship''' ('''WPC''') was an international paintball tournament held on 1–3 December 2017 at Pattana Golf Club & Resort in Si Racha, Chon Buri, Thailand. The event offered a Nations Cup and three additional competitive divisions.[1][2]

== Venue and participation ==
The official registration record identified Pattana Golf Club & Resort in Si Racha as the venue.[1]

A post-event release issued by the venue reported participation by 40 teams from 11 countries. The PBLeagues registration record lists 34 paid entries across four competition categories. The sources therefore provide different participation totals.[1][2]

== Competition categories ==
The official registration listing offered the following categories.[1]

{| class="wikitable"
! Category !! Listed game duration !! Listed entry fee !! Paid entries
|-
| WPC Nations Cup || 10 minutes || US$300 || 6
|-
| WPC RaceTo-4 || 10 minutes || US$700 || 9
|-
| WPC RaceTo-3 || 8 minutes || US$600 || 7
|-

== Reported results ==

=== Nations Cup ===
The venue's post-event release reported Poland as the winner, followed by Thailand, France and Malaysia.[2]

{| class="wikitable"
! Position reported by the venue !! National team
|-
| 1 || Poland
|-
| 2 || Thailand
|-
| 3 || France
|-
| 4 || Malaysia
|}

The accessible PBLeagues results page gives a different order: France, India, Poland, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. This conflicts with the contemporary venue report.[3]

=== RaceTo-3 ===
The PBLeagues results page records the following positions for the RaceTo-3 category.[3]

{| class="wikitable"
! Position !! Team
|-
| 1 || Rockstar Factory Asia Aisawan
|-
| 2 || Hellions SG
|-
| 3 || Tanjong Pagar Red Sevens
|-
| 4 || [[Republik CMX]]
|-
| 5 || Daemon Aisawan
|-
| 6 || Kamikaze Kings
|-
| 7 || Paint Mechanix
|}

=== Other categories ===
The accessible PBLeagues tables repeat leading positions within the RaceTo-4 and RaceTo-2 categories, rather than providing an unambiguous single final classification.[3]

The separate tournament history for [[Infernal (Thailand Paintball Team)|Infernal]] records second place among nine entries in RaceTo-4.[4]
