Last sunday, Dutch teams once again stepped on the field at PBSA in Almere to compete in the final leg of the Dutch Xball championship. Amsterdam Xistence needed only little to secure their pretty much guaranteed first place finish. Amsterdam Xistence was already carved in the big plate on display saying "Amsterdam Xistence, Dutch Paintball Champion 2009" Not being the team to slow down and bask in their own glory, Xistence kept the heat on and took down Fearless to maintain their undefeated status. Unfortunately, this was our only match of the day as many teams were MIA on the last leg. Now the Amsterdam Xistence 2 had the ball to fight for second place in a close three-way tie.

Amsterdam Xistence 2 had 3 games to win were they hoping to be in the running for 2nd place. These games had to be won convincingly in order to stay ahead with less points against than the other two teams fighting for the spot. The first match of the day was against Infected, Xistence 2 scored three points in quick succession.. taking in the first win. Next up was Outshine, after a squandered point due to a penalty, the team quickly pulled out another three quick points winning 3-1. The final match of the day had Xistence 2 taking on High Voltage to finish the day undefeated and taking home the 2nd place finish. 3 points later and Xistence ranked first and second in the Dutch championship.

Both squads took pride in the overall teamwork that helped us win, and didn't forget our sponsors and friends in making this great result possible. A special thanks to Dye Precision and Paintball Supplies for making our jobs that much easier. We look forward defending our title next year!
