2022 Arena 5 Man Race Round 3
The 2022 Arena 5 Man Race Round 3 was a five-player paintball tournament held over Labour Weekend, 22–23 October 2022, at Arena Paintball in Feilding, New Zealand. It was the third scheduled round of the 2022 Arena 5 Man Race Series.[1][2]
Format
[edit]The tournament was advertised as a two-day event using a five-player race format with a four-point mercy rule.
The organiser's published programme limited entries to ten teams and specified an entry fee of NZ$500 per team, with field paint required.[1]
Event
[edit]Phoenix Tahiti published photographs of the tournament in October 2022 under the album title 2022 New Zealand Race Series – Round 3 Labour Day.[2][3]
The photographs and accompanying comments document participation by players associated with New Zealand teams and visiting players from French Polynesia.
Expendables participation
[edit]In comments on Phoenix Tahiti's tournament photographs, Brendon Spain confirmed playing alongside Ralph Tsing with Expendables.[2]
Crisis Paintball Northland separately stated that two of its players, identified as Russell and Brendon, had played with Tsing and Expendables during the tournament.[3]
These accounts document guest-player participation but do not establish Expendables' final tournament placing.
Results
[edit]Complete final tournament placings have not been established from the available contemporary records.
