31 The European Championships Veterans division saw teams from Great Brittan, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Russia, France, Denmark and the Ukraine (no Germany?). France, Denmark and Great Brittan were clearly on their game throughout their matches. In the semifinals Denmark beat Poland and France beat Great Brittan. France beat Denmark in the finals to claim the European Championship Veterans Division crown. In the Woodsball event it was the Sandbaggers running through the division to claim first place. Ratpasse took second place with Celtic Barbarians, Dutch Privateers and Assala taking third through fifth places. The CLP saw four groups, each with four teams. Toulouse TonTons won their three game group to advance to the quarterfinals. Art Chaos won Group B easily. In a really strong group that included Edmonton Impact, Houston Heat, London Tigers and Vision Marseille it was Impact winning their three games. Houston Heat’s only loss was a 4-3 game versus Impact. Group D had Frankfurt Syndicate taking all three of their games. In the quarterfinals Offenburg Comin At Ya put an end to TonTons dream of a first place win. In the surprise of the CPL, Outrage Valence knocked off heavy favorite Art Chaos Moscow. A far earlier exit than most would have predicted for Art Chaos. Edmonton Impact won a hard-fought game against Polar Bears Tarko Sale by a score of 5-3. And Houston Heat beat a very strong Frankfurt Syndicate 5-3. WWW.PAINTBALLX3.COM
