Wipeout (New Zealand Paintball Team)
Wipeout was a New Zealand tournament paintball team identified with Mount Maunganui. The team was documented in competition during 2011 and 2012, jointly winning a South Auckland Paintball Club five-player event in December 2011 and recording a participant-reported ninth-place finish at the first Auckland event of the 2012 New Zealand Paintball Players League season.[1][2]
History
[edit]2011 South Auckland Paintball Club series
[edit]Wipeout was identified as a Mount Maunganui team in contemporary discussion of the South Auckland Paintball Club five-player series at Lock N Load Paintball in Auckland.[1]
Eight teams attended the event held on 11 December 2011. In the organiser's post-event report, Wipeout and a team recorded as BOP were declared joint winners. The surviving report does not provide individual game scores or identify Wipeout's players.[1]
2012 New Zealand Paintball Players League
[edit]Wipeout competed at the first Auckland event of the 2012 New Zealand Paintball Players League season, held at Lock N Load Paintball on 7–8 April.[2][3]
A contemporary participant-provided list placed Wipeout ninth among sixteen teams. The contributor qualified the list with “If I am not mistaken”, and an independently published official final table has not been recovered. The placing is therefore recorded as a contemporary reported result rather than a verified official standing.[3]
