Editing Sultan of Kedah Cup

'''Sultan of Kedah Cup''' was a name used for paintball tournaments held in Kedah, [[Malaysia]]. Contemporary records document a [[2008 Sultan of Kedah Cup|2008 tournament]] in Sungai Petani and a [[2010 Sultan of Kedah Cup|2010 tournament]] in Alor Setar. The name was also used for the third round of the [[2011 Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit]].[1][2][3][4]

The competitions differed in venue and divisional structure. The 2008 programme offered Open, Amateur/Novice and Kedah Closed categories; the 2010 participant report described Open and Novice divisions; and the 2011 MPOC round published results for Divisions 1–4.[1][3][4]

The programme advertised RM45,000 in prize money. Open was intended for Division 1 and Division 2 teams, while Amateur/Novice accommodated Division 3 and Division 4 teams. The Kedah Closed category required teams to field at least four local Kedah players.[1]
