Malaysian Super Lite
- Not to be confused with Malaysia Paintball Super League (MPSL).
Malaysian Super Lite (MSL), also styled Malaysia Super Lite, was a Malaysian tournament paintball competition promoted by Nemesis Paintball Club and the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL). The inaugural tournament took place at the Malaysian Paintball Academy (MAPAAC) in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, in October 2009.[1][2]
A second edition was announced for October 2010, while another edition appeared in MY-NPL's provisional 2011 calendar.[3][4]
Editions
[edit]| Edition | Dates | Venue | Documentation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 10–11 October 2009 | MAPAAC, Petaling Jaya | Tournament held; divisional results published |
| 2010 | Programme advertised for 8–10 October 2010 | MAPAAC, Petaling Jaya | Contemporary announcement |
| 2011 | Provisionally scheduled for 1–2 October 2011 | MAPAAC, Petaling Jaya | Provisional calendar listing |
The 2009 results confirm that edition's completion. The cited 2010 and 2011 sources document announced programmes rather than completed tournament results.[2][3][4]
Competition format
[edit]The 2009 Open and Amateur/Novice categories used X-ball Lite, with teams racing to three points within an eight-minute match period. The programme specified a maximum of five games per match. Uncapped semi-automatic and PSP burst capped at 12 balls per second were permitted, with the remaining rules drawn from the MY-NPL rule book.[1]
A separate Division 4 competition ran concurrently under standard MY-NPL 2009 rules.[1][2]
The 2010 announcement retained Race-to-3 but advertised a 13-minute match period.[3]
2009 tournament
[edit]The inaugural tournament was held on 10 and 11 October at MAPAAC, Kompleks Sukan Astaka, Petaling Jaya. Nemesis Paintball Club and MY-NPL headquarters invited teams and handled registration, with submitted rosters subject to Malaysian Paintball Players' Council checking and approval.[1]
Twenty-two teams competed: six in Open, six in Amateur/Novice and ten in Division 4.[2]
