Hokonui Paintball Sports
Hokonui Paintball Sports was a recreational paintball group associated with Grants Bush, approximately three kilometres west of Gore, Southland, New Zealand. Its activities were described by participant John Van Zoest in an account preserved on the New Zealand Paintball website.[1]
Activities
[edit]The group played on a privately owned forestry block of approximately ten acres. Van Zoest described four regular participants, with games typically attracting around ten players every three or four weeks.[1]
Games included team elimination, last-man-standing play and a format in which two concealed players were pursued by the remaining participants.[1]
The group offered approximately ten Stingray markers and X-Fire goggles for hire. Regular players also used personally owned equipment, including Automag and Spyder markers.[1]
Competition
[edit]Van Zoest stated that the group had not entered tournaments as a team. His account announced plans for an internal last-man-standing competition, provisionally called the Master Blaster Trophy, before the end of 1997. It did not report a completed event or result.[1]
