Editing 2014 NZPPL Super 5 Man Series


'''2014 NZPPL Super 5 Man Series''' was a five-player [[paintball]] competition organised by the [[New Zealand Paintball Players League]] (NZPPL) in New Zealand during 2014. The series included two documented tournaments held at [[Adrenalin Paintball Sports]] on the Kāpiti Coast, with a third event advertised for November.[1][2][3]

[[ADHD (paintball team)|ADHD]] won both documented rounds, held in March and May–June 2014. The team's two victories placed it first in the published interim series standings.[4]

== Organisation ==

The NZPPL operated its Super 5 Man competition separately from its Race 2 tournament series during 2014.

The Super 5 Man events were scheduled at Adrenalin Paintball Sports, located at the Lindale Complex in North Paraparaumu, Kāpiti Coast.[1][2]

The original event announcements advertised team registration, field inspections and captains' meetings on the Friday preceding each tournament, followed by competition on Saturday and Sunday.[1][2]

The totals represent accumulated event placings rather than match scores.

ADHD led the published standings with two first-place finishes. Expendables and Tempest Blast both accumulated five placing points, with Expendables ranked second in the original table.[4]

The archived standings do not contain results for the planned third event. Consequently, the available table should not be treated as a verified completed-season classification.

== Historical records ==

The original NZPPL website preserves separate event announcements and tournament results for the first two rounds.[1][2][4]

A contemporary Asylum Paintball report published on 11 March 2014 independently documents ADHD's opening-round Cup victory and provides the final match scores.[5]

The NZPPL rankings page contains a date discrepancy, labelling the first Super 5 Man event as 12–13 April 2014. The league's separate original event announcement specifies 8–9 March, consistent with Asylum Paintball's contemporary March report.[1][4][5]

The April dates correspond to a separately advertised NZPPL Race 2 tournament.[6]
