Eighty-two teams competed in the COED WESTERN WORLD SERIES sponsored by WORTH and MIKEN on September 27 & 28. Teams from seven states including Alaska competed in three divisions at 4 valley complexes in the two day event.

When the dust settled late on Sunday afternoon, there were four World Champions crowned.

In the C Division, the Arizona State Champion, Perfect Strangers beat out a tough 12 Pak team with a perfect 4-0 record. Southern AZ Combo from Tucson finished in 3rd place with Fresno Fury coming in 4th.

Because of time constraints, the 37 team D Division had Co-champions, No Limit from Elk Grove, CA and G-Crew from Peoria, AZ. The two teams will share the 2003 WESTERN WORLD SERIES crown as well as receive 1st place awards, MVPs and trophies.

Hart's Heroes, all the way from Tumwater, Washington took the hard fought E Division. Tribal, from Yuma, AZ finished a close second. The highest placing Canadian team was Wet Dreams with a 3rd place finish. Wild Rice, another Washington team, finished 4th.
