'''Team Atrox''' was a Singaporean all-female competitive [[paintball]] team documented in November 2008. The team was introduced by the contemporary publication ''Paintball in Singapore 101'' as Singapore's first locally established all-female paintball team.[1]

Led by a player known as '''Grimreaper''', Team Atrox emerged during the early development of organised tournament paintball in Singapore, following the introduction of the [[Singapore Paintball Novice Series]] (SPNS) in March 2008.[1][2]

== History ==

=== Establishment (2008) ===

Team Atrox was publicly introduced on 26 November 2008 in an article entitled "Singapore's First All-Female Team", published by ''Paintball in Singapore 101''.

The article contrasted Singapore's emerging women's tournament scene with neighbouring Malaysia, where established all-female teams included [[Tornado Angels]], [[Venus (paintball team)|Venus]] and [[Sogo Ballbusters]].[1]

Although female players had previously competed in Singaporean tournaments, Team Atrox was identified by the publication as the country's first locally established all-female team.

Earlier in 2008, [[PSG Charlie]], a team composed of Filipino expatriate women, had competed in the Singapore Paintball Novice Series and Malaysian tournaments.[1][3]

=== Leadership ===

Team Atrox was led by a player known by the nickname '''Grimreaper'''.

Before leading Team Atrox, Grimreaper had competed in all three rounds of the 2008 Singapore Paintball Novice Series, one round of the [[Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit]] (MPOC) and several smaller tournaments.[1]

The contemporary announcement identified her previous tournament experience as an important contribution to the development of the new team.

=== Subsequent activity ===

In January 2009, ''Paintball in Singapore 101'' mentioned Team Atrox among the Singaporean teams the author had hoped to see competing at a Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit tournament in Kuala Lumpur.[4]

The available records do not establish a confirmed tournament appearance under the Team Atrox name.
