The '''2020 CPPS''' was the 2020 season of the [[Central Premier Paintball Series]], a British tournament [[paintball]] competition. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the planned calendar, and the championship was held over three rounds between August and November. Lucky 15s Staffordshire finished first in the Elite Division.[1][2][3][4]

== Impact of COVID-19 ==

BZ Paintball's calendar, published on 6 January 2020, advertised CPPS Round 1 for 18–19 April and Round 2 for 23–24 May. The organiser's historical calendar instead records the opening round in August.[1][3]

Planet Eclipse's September report on Stoke Quest explicitly described the impact of the COVID-19 situation and a shortened three-event season.[4] A Panthers UK social update dated 8 May 2020, preserved by LocalGymsAndFitness, records the team deciding to donate its season deposit to support CPPS during the disruption.[5]

== Calendar ==

The following dates reproduce the organiser's overall round date ranges. Each numbered round included seven divisions, with play spread across separate dates.[1]

{| class="wikitable"
! Round !! Recorded date range
|-
| [[2020 CPPS Round 1|Round 1]] || 8–30 August 2020
|-
| [[2020 CPPS Round 2|Round 2]] || 5–30 September 2020
|-
| [[2020 CPPS Round 3|Round 3]] || 3 October–1 November 2020
|}

== Final standings ==

The tables reproduce the organiser's final positions, team names and points. Division 1 retains the published positions 13–20, following the twelve Elite entries; Division 4 retains positions 14–27, following the thirteen Division 3 entries. Equal points do not necessarily indicate equal final positions.[2]

The published totals use different scales: Elite and Divisions 1–4 have season totals based on match points, while Division 5 and Breakout totals aggregate their round points. The −1 values in the first five divisions' individual round fields are not treated as points scored.[2][6][7][8]
