== North Shore Paintball ==

=== Establishment ===

Clark was involved in the operation of [[North Shore Paintball]], a paintball business and tournament facility in the Auckland region.

North Shore Paintball Limited was incorporated on 15 October 2008 under New Zealand company number 2182318.

Historical company records identify Jonathan Richard Clark as a director and list the company's registered address in Silverdale, Auckland.

The company was removed from the New Zealand Companies Register on 19 November 2012.

The company's removal date does not necessarily establish when the playing facility ceased operating. [3]

=== Tournament facilities ===

North Shore Paintball operated a dedicated speedball facility designed to accommodate competitive tournament paintball.

The venue featured an artificial-turf playing surface and inflatable speedball bunkers, providing an alternative to the grass playing fields commonly used for New Zealand tournaments.

The facility was promoted as an early dedicated artificial-turf tournament venue in New Zealand.

North Shore Paintball provided training opportunities for competitive players and hosted organised tournament activity.

The venue formed part of the development of dedicated speedball infrastructure in the Auckland region during the late 2000s and early 2010s. [4]

=== Greater Auckland Open ===

North Shore Paintball was associated with the [[Greater Auckland Open]], a tournament advertised for 20–21 November 2010.

The competition was promoted using a race-to-seven format and the 2010 [[Paintball Sports Promotions]] tournament layout.

Promotional material also advertised filming by paintball media company [[DerDer Productions]].

The event reflected the growing popularity of X-Ball and race-format competition in New Zealand during this period.

It preceded the later development of structured Auckland race-series competition, including tournaments organised by the [[South Auckland Paintball Club]] and [[New Zealand Paintball Players League]]. [4]
