Editing 2026 NAWASIA First Leg

'''2026 NAWASIA First Leg''' was a [[paintball]] tournament held on 9–10 May 2026 at SAP Sports Field in Bangkok, Thailand. DYE Asia reported that Infernal won Division 1, with Destroyer by TKC finishing second. OGWEAR separately reported a third-place finish for OGBOYS without identifying its division.[1][2][5][7][8]

== Advertised divisions ==
An invitation issued in the name of World Paintball Sport Academy advertised three divisions using a split-deck X-Ball format. Each division allowed a roster of ten players.[1]

{| class="wikitable"
! Advertised division !! Format !! Game duration !! Entry fee
|-
| 5 Star || Race-to-four || 12 minutes || ฿5,000
|-
| 4 Star || Race-to-three || 9 minutes || ฿4,000
|-
| 3 Star || Race-to-two || 6 minutes || ฿3,000
|}

OGWEAR's subsequent event report names 2-Star, 3-Star and 4-Star divisions, while DYE Asia's results posts use the designation D1. The available sources do not establish how these designations correspond.[5][7][8]

== Advertised rules ==
The announcement specified a velocity limit of 300 feet per second and a firing-rate limit of 10.5 balls per second. Competition points were advertised as three for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.[1]

== Results ==
=== Division 1 ===
DYE Asia identified Infernal as D1 champions in a post published on 12 May 2026. A separate post identified Destroyer by TKC as D1 runners-up and explicitly dated the event to 9–10 May 2026.[7][8]
