CBP # 2
First Place Open Class - Ninjinhas Bravo
Twenty-eight teams came out to compete. With more teams in attendance than the year's kick-off event, the format changed slightly, as growth of the novice division added a semi-final round for those teams, and more games to be played at the tournament. Although located in the city of Itapecerica da Serra (a name which literally means the slippery stone mountains) the ground remained dry with bright sun and clear skies for the weekend. After teams had a chance to walk the fields, games begain with the open class teams playing the round-robin style preliminary round in two backets. New to the division for the 2008 season were Jungle Juice, Rapinas Silver and Playback. By the end of games on Saturday the Open Class A Bracket had completed 7 games per team and saw Jungle Boyz, Braves and Jungle Juice in the lead. Open Class B Bracket started its games Saturday afternoon, not to complete the prelims until Sunday morning. As the open class preliminary round finished up, it was Jungle Boyz, Papaletto, Ninjinhas Delta, Braves, Jungle Juice, Rapinas, Ninjinhas Bravo and Bulldogs in the top positions, moving on to the semifinal round.
Division 5, structured for the newest teams in the series used the same game format as D4. Rapinas Rookies, Monkey Paintball, Monkey Red, Comando Blackout and Shockers all had their first taste of the clean grass fields of Gorilaz Paintball. D5 battled through some serious prelims with the teams vying for position in the semifinals. With only 5 teams competing, it was just the lowest ranked team at the end of the prelims, Monkey Red, that was cut when the division moved on to the semis. In the D5 semifinal round, Rapinas Rookies played Shockers. Trying for the best two out of three games each of the two teams ended up with a win, and their third game was a tie. This brought the match down to a one-on-one tie-breaker game, victory going to the Shockers. This put the finals pairing between Shockers and Monkey Paiontball. Shockers took the first game, but Monkey won the second and third, returning home to the city of Espirito Santo as the D5 champions. In the open class division quarterfinals, controversy regarding Jungle Boyz and Jungle Juice led to both teams withdrawing from the event, with the six remaining teams continuing on without them. Ranked by points, Ninjinhas Bravo (255,) Ninjinhas Delta (225,) Braves (204) and Bulldogs (202) continued on to the semifinal round.
The second event of the 2008 CBP series drew to a close with sponsors Gorilaz Paintball, Megaplay Morumbi and Paintball Pro largely responsible for making the tournament possible. From Sao Paulo, the series heads next to MegaPlay Morumbi on the 16th through 18th of August.
