2019 NXL Asia
The 2019 NXL Asia season was a three-round paintball competition held in Malaysia between April and October 2019. The season concluded at Taman Daya Hockey Stadium in Johor Bahru.[1][2][3]
Duckside Aisawan won the overall Open championship, Republik CMX won Amateur and EJPC Jr won Mechanical Open.[4]
Events
[edit]| Round | Dates | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Leg 1 | 26–28 April 2019 | Listed by PBLeagues as 1 Utama, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya; Canyon Paintball's media archive identifies Melaka |
| Leg 2 | 26–28 July 2019 | Jabatan Belia dan Sukan Negeri Pulau Pinang, Gelugor, Penang |
| Leg 3 | 25–27 October 2019 | Taman Daya Hockey Stadium, Johor Bahru |
Dates and venue listings are preserved in the original PBLeagues event records.[1][2][3] The opening round's location remains disputed because Canyon Paintball labels its first-round media coverage as Melaka.[5]
Competition
[edit]All three rounds included Open X-Ball, Amateur X-Ball, Mechanical Open, Open ten-player, Open three-player and Mechanical Beginner three-player competitions.[1][2][3]
Open X-Ball used race-to-four with ten-minute matches. Amateur X-Ball used race-to-four with eight-minute matches. Mechanical Open was listed with seven-minute matches and a three-point mercy limit.[1][2][3]
Division entries
[edit]The published event classifications contain the following numbers of entries. These are division entries rather than counts of distinct clubs or players.[6][7][8]

|---|---|---|---|
| Open X-Ball | 10 | 9 | 10 |
| Amateur X-Ball | 18 | 10 | 19 |

Event winners are recorded in PBLeagues, subject to the discrepancies described below.[6][7][8]
Results discrepancies
[edit]The second round's Mechanical Beginner record assigns first place to both HeadHunters and Thunder without explaining the duplicate positions.[7]
For the final round's Open three-player competition, the contemporary results graphic names Cranberries as champions, followed by Anything Lah, Canyon Wise Folks and Satu.[4] PBLeagues instead lists Annex first, Anything Lah second, BAD s third and Canyon Wise Folks fourth, with Cranberries fifth and Satu ninth.[8]
Overall champions
[edit]The results graphic published with the contemporary final-round report separately identifies the following season champions.[4]
| Division | Overall champion |
|---|---|
| Open | Duckside Aisawan |
| Amateur | Republik CMX |
| Mechanical Open | EJPC Jr |
EJPC Jr also won Mechanical Open at all three rounds.[6][7][8]
PBLeagues' surviving 2019 season standings page contains division headings and columns for the first two rounds, but no populated team rankings or points totals.[9]
Johor Bahru finale
[edit]The final round was organised by NXL Asia with support from COUGARS, a Johor Bahru sports and recreation organisation.[4]
A contemporary report described approximately seventy participating teams. PBLeagues records 69 division entries. The report attributed participation from Malaysia, New Zealand, Australia, Brunei, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia and India to information supplied by the organisers.[4][8]
Waxers Legion won the Open event ahead of Riot Crew and Duckside Aisawan. Anarki Legion won Amateur ahead of Hor Hor and Kejahatan Aisawan. EJPC Jr won Mechanical Open ahead of CMX Hamoon and Naughty Frogs.[4][8]
