The Milsim Maniacs, who have improved greatly since the beginning of the year, showed great grit and determination from the opening. The Maniacs charged headlong into the Tippinators line in and attempt to throw the Tipps off of their game plan. The Tippinators dug in and slowly pushed back the tide of Milsim players in both games. The Tippinators were fortunate to pull out victories in a pair of matches, closely fought to the end.

Improving their record to 8-0 means the Tippinators need only win one of their remaining two matches against the Overkill Commandos to retain the title at the AWL season finale.

With only one event remaining in the season the AWL is proving that the differences between woodsball and speedball are no as great as some players believe. The AWL is proving that competive paintball, is competitive paintball, regardless of the venue.

Kevin 'Big Can' Curry, 2008 champion in the APBL and AXBL xball leagues with team Shock, summed up the nature of playing competitive woodsball with the Tippinators. "To me there is no difference between woodsball and speedball. On either field I have a job to do and teammates to take care of." Curry continued, "I feel at home no matter what field I'm on, whether it be sliding in to the snake on the xball field or crawling through the bush towards the opposing teams flag station in the AWL"
