Final Impact (New Zealand Paintball Team)

From WikiPaintball

Final Impact was a Hamilton-based New Zealand competitive paintball team associated with the Final Impact indoor paintball field.

The team finished second in the Plate competition at the 2004 Auckland Queen’s Birthday Superball. Contributor identification names the field's operator, Hugo Kappes, as the team's captain.[1][2][3]

Final Impact was distinct from the Wellington team Impact and other paintball teams using the same generic word.

Field association

[edit]

A contemporary field review identified Final Impact as an indoor paintball venue at 46 Northway Street, Te Rapa, Hamilton. The review identified its operator as Hugo.[2]

The New Zealand Companies Register identifies Hugo Rowland Kappes as a director of Final Impact Limited.[3] Contributor identification confirms that the tournament entry represented the Hamilton field and that Kappes captained the team.

The recovered tournament report does not provide a complete Final Impact roster. No other players are assigned to the team without supporting evidence.

Kappes was later listed beneath Pirates in a roster post preserved in the 2007 Auckland Super 5s discussion.[4] Contributor clarification identifies Pirates as related to Final Impact through Kappes's involvement. The available evidence does not establish that Final Impact and Pirates were the same team, and their tournament histories remain separate.

2004 Auckland Queen’s Birthday Superball

[edit]

Final Impact competed at the 2004 Auckland Queen’s Birthday Superball, held at Kumeu over Queen’s Birthday weekend. Thirteen teams attended from Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and the South Island.[1]

Final Impact qualified for the Plate competition alongside Vicious, Havoc and HSR.[1]

The team reached the Plate final, where it was defeated by HSR. Final Impact therefore finished second in the Plate competition.[1]

The contemporary report does not provide Final Impact's preliminary score, the final's match score or a playing roster.
