Editing 2023 WCPL California Classic

The '''2023 WCPL California Classic''', also promoted as the '''Northern California Classic''', was a paintball tournament held on '''5–6 August 2023''' at '''Shooter's All Season Paintball and Airsoft''' in '''Nicolaus, California'''. It formed part of the [[World Classic Paintball League]]'s 2023 season.[1][2]

Black Sunday won the eight-team open ten-player competition, followed by Ironmen and Toxic Teddys.[3]

== Name and organisation ==

The WCPL's announcement of 11 July 2023 called the event the Northern California Classic and identified [[Fred Schultz]] as its host. PBLeagues used the shorter title California Classic for the tournament at the same venue and on the same dates.[1][2]

The event was separate from the [[2023 WCPL Southern California Classic]], held at Ambush Paintball Park in February.[4]

== Venue and dates ==

PBLeagues listed the tournament for Saturday, 5 August, and Sunday, 6 August 2023, at '''Shooter's All Season Paintball and Airsoft, 2891 Garden Highway, Nicolaus, California'''.[2]

The WCPL's July announcement confirmed the venue and dates and reported that field preparations were under way.[1]

== Format ==

The competition was listed as '''Open 10v10 (Sat–Sun)''', with '''ten-minute games'''. PBLeagues recorded eight registered and paid teams, matching the eight final placings.[2][3]

The published results contain one open ten-player division.[3]

== Results ==

Black Sunday finished first, Ironmen second and Toxic Teddys third. All recorded final placings are shown below.[3]

== Calendar position ==

The California Classic followed the [[2023 WCPL Montressor Classic]], held on 29–30 July in Newark, Illinois.[4]

Earlier WCPL publicity announced a subsequent '''Saint Louis Gateway Classic''' for '''14–15 October 2023''' at Gateway Paintball. That announcement establishes the planned event; it does not establish its final attendance or results.[5]
