2025 INPL season
The 2025 INPL season was the Iran National Paintball League competition programme for the Iranian calendar year 1404. Documented rounds took place in Mashhad in May and October 2025, with men's premier and second divisions, women's competition and men's individual events.[1][2][3]
Datis Tehran won the men's premier and women's competitions at both documented rounds. Shahrad Sharifi won the opening men's individual event, while Milad Rashidi won the second.[2][3][4]
Competition structure
[edit]The organiser's opening-round announcement provided for a closed men's premier division of eight teams and an open-entry second division. It announced that the bottom two premier teams would be relegated and the leading two second-division teams promoted at the end of the season.[1]
The programme specified five-player men's premier competition with a fifteen-minute time limit and six-point mercy rule. The men's second division and women's competition were scheduled with ten-minute limits and four-point mercy rules.[1]
These were the published season arrangements; the announcement alone does not establish which teams were subsequently promoted or relegated.
