Blackwood Hunters
Blackwood Hunters was an Australian tournament paintball team that won the Frankston Five-Man Tournament in Victoria. Former members were later identified among the players of Apparition.[1][2]
History
[edit]Frankston Five-Man Tournament
[edit]The Blackwood Hunters competed at the Frankston Five-Man Tournament at Splatball Village in Frankston, Victoria. Twelve teams entered the competition, which used rental SL-II pump markers, an 80-paintball limit and centre-flag games.[1]
The Hunters qualified for the four-team finals and remained undefeated through the finals round. They then defeated Challenge Raiders in the championship game to win the tournament.[1]
The contemporary report was published in January 1996 but does not establish the tournament’s date.[1]
Former members in Apparition
[edit]A report on the 1998 Victorian Five-Man Masters identified former Blackwood Hunters members within Apparition, the home team at Paintball Action Games near Ballan.[2]
Apparition supplied the core refereeing staff for that tournament. The report stated that some of its players had more than ten years of paintball experience, but did not identify the individual former Hunters members.[2]
