The Rookie/Novice competition was played on a "Hyper-Ball" field and a "Sup-Air Field," while the Amateur and Young Gun teams competed on "Hyper- Ball" fields.

" With over 27 vendors and 32 teams in attendance, we consider the 2000 WPF Southern California Super Challenge to be one of the most successful tournaments that we have produced to date," states Jim Lively, president of the WPF. "I would like to personally thank Dennis and everyone at S.C. Village as well as Bud Orr and his team at Worr Game Products for their
support. I would especially like to congratulate the winners, teams Dragoon, Spider's Web, Titanium Playdoe, and Splinter for their victories. We look forward to seeing everyone at the 2000 ZAP International Masters in New Orleans, Louisiana this October 6 - 8."
