Here it is, one of the biggest controversies in the history of paintball. Joy vs. Dynasty in the O.C. Super Seven Commander’s Cup all squeezed into a 1:28 clip. this was the first time I’ve been able to look at it, and I’d have to agree with the refs. Bonus balling Fraige was a bit over the top, but then hammering Cole at point blank after he was clearly out just took the cake (just look at that hopper!).
Not only were the tournament standings on the line, but the entire ’06 season. And it’s not like paintball is at the level of the NFL where you can just call back plays, review them from a dozen different angles, etc. It happens right there on the spot, and the refs must make a call based on what they saw happen in only a seconds time. I think I feel sorrier for the refs than I do for either team. I sure wouldn’t want to have to make a call like that.
The tournament resulted in Dynasty taking first, Joy in a close second, and XSV taking third. being the final NPPL event, Dynasty took first place for the overall season. XSV barely grabbed the points they need to take second place, and Joy took third. this win made it Dynasty’s fourth overall season champions in a row.
