Editing Team Kiwi (section)

=== APEC Moama, 2001 ===
An earlier use of the Kiwi name is documented at the [[2001 APEC Moama Tournament]] in Australia in September 2001. In a report published on 25 September, [[Peter Mumby]] described travelling with a New Zealand scratch team to compete in the final round of the APEC tournaments. His account referred to the squad as Kiwi or Kiwis. [9]

The report listed the players as Kyn J, Chris W, Steve N, Brendon C and Peter M. It also named Kyn Jackson and Peter Mumby in full. Historical clarification supplied to WikiPaintball identifies the complete squad as follows: [9][10]

* [[Kyn Jackson]]
* Chris Watt
* Steve Nugent
* [[Brendon Charles]]
* [[Peter Mumby]]

Mumby reported the final order as Kaozs, Kiwis and Junk Yard Dogs, placing the New Zealand squad second. A subsequent reply signed Steve described the result as “1st equal”, without supplying scores or explaining the difference. The surviving discussion does not resolve these accounts. [9]

Jackson, Charles and Mumby subsequently appeared in the reported Team Kiwi lineup for Nation Cup 2004. The 2001 appearance therefore provides an earlier use of the name with personnel shared by the later Malaysian delegation. [1][9][10]
