WCPPL Warmup @ CEPP by Tim Cerruti
The following is a guest article by Tim Cerruti, formerly of Scottsdale Elevation. Tim had the opportunity to be at Capital Edge Paintball Park over the weekend and witnessed the WCPPL warm up event hosted by pro paintball player Dave Baines. Read on for the event review, photos, and event results.
The forecast for the 23rd of January was clear skies, which would have been a pleasant break from the previous 5 days of rain Northern California has been getting. But as everyone who drove to the event noticed that it was not as clear as it was supposed to be. However the weather conditions did not stop the Bay Area Gorillas, Armed Forces, Gladiators, and Fuzion who showed up for the West Coast Paintball Players League Warm-Up at Capital Edge Paintball Park in Sacramento. The teams came for the 1st place prize of entry to the 2010 WCPPL event of their choice. The “Race 2” 2 format played out for some interesting matches with many of them going to the 3rd point. There was some good divisional paintball being played, with a huge upset in finals where the Bay Area Gorillas came back after losing their first point to local favorites Fuzion. The games went smoothly and we had our result by lunch thanks to the very efficient Dave Bains of Russian Legion who head reffed the field. Players also commented on how they liked the new Race 2 format.
The final results were:
1st Bay Area Gorillas
2nd Fuzion
3rd Armed Force
4th Gladiators

4 TEAMS…. LOL!! JOKE
Ya a couple of more teams and it would of been a USPL event!
4 Teams isn’t bad for a Warm-Up event. Especially after all the rain California has been getting.
Nice job, Tim.
If you want to look at the bright side, the chances of winning first place was increased by the lack of teams showing up. Free entry to a WCPPL event of your choice with 1/4 chance of you winning. I like those odds.
Looks like it was more or less an organized practice — an opportunity for norcal teams to get their feet wet in the new race-ball format.
Regardless of the format and or your feelings on the different leagues, this is a great idea. I really hope we see more of these type of events at local fields.
