== Tournament paintball ==

Asylum became a venue for organised competitive paintball in Auckland during the 2010s.[3][4]

=== New Zealand Paintball Players League ===

Asylum hosted events associated with the [[New Zealand Paintball Players League]], including the final event of the 2013 season and competitions during 2014.[1]

The 2014 NZPPL Auckland events included Pro X-Ball and Division 1 competition, with teams from New Zealand, Australia and French Polynesia participating in the league's International Pacific Championship.[7]

=== South Auckland Paintball Club ===

Asylum served as a home venue for the [[South Auckland Paintball Club]], which organised regular tournament competitions at the facility.[3]

The club's 2014 and 2015 Race Series included Open X-Ball and mechanical-pump divisions. Events were recorded through the PBLeagues tournament registration and results system.[3][8]

The 2014 series consisted of four events held between February and September. The 2015 series also featured four events, running from January to August.[8][14]

==== PALS and World Cup Asia support ====

SAPC's published 2014 series information recorded endorsement from the heads of PALS/APPBF and Millennium Series/EPBF. The club advertised Open competition using PALS Divisions 1–3 classifications and Novice competition using the Division 4 classification.[14]

On 26 January 2014, [[Michael Earley]], publishing as MikeE, announced that the SAPC Open Series winners would receive free Division 2 entry to [[2014 Paintball World Cup Asia]] in Langkawi, Malaysia. PALS sponsored the entry fee, while Asylum Paintball sponsored the team's accommodation.[12]

The announcement also stated that the 2013 World Cup Asia field layout would be available for training before the opening SAPC event.[12]

SAPC's end-of-season report reconfirmed the entry and accommodation sponsorship. The statement, signed by club president [[Vitaly Miheev|Vitaly V. Miheev]] on 27 September and published on 30 September 2014, also announced that the president would serve as an official tournament coordinator at World Cup Asia.[13]

These announcements document the sponsored pathway and intended participation rather than confirming the winning team's eventual attendance or results.[12][13]

=== Asylum Paintball Cup ===

The venue hosted the [[2015 Asylum Paintball Cup]] on 26–27 September 2015.[4][9]

The competition attracted international participation, including Australian team Hard2Overcome and [[Phoenix Tahiti]] from French Polynesia.[4][9]

An October 2015 report published by DYE Precision described Hard2Overcome's participation and its experiences competing at Asylum.[4]

Asylum also hosted the Auckland Paintball Cup in March 2015 and was associated with a further edition in April 2016.[9]

In September 2025, the venue advertised the fourth event of a three-man tournament series.[10]
