Extreme X (New Zealand Paintball Team)
Extreme X was a New Zealand competitive paintball team documented at the 2001 Northland Open. The team finished fourth overall, behind Saints, Phantom and Wellington Phoenix.[1][2]
The available evidence does not establish that Extreme X was the same organisation as the earlier team Kiwi Extreme. The similar names have therefore been treated as separate identities unless a roster or contemporary source establishes a relationship.
2001 Northland Open
[edit]Extreme X competed at the Northland Open in Whangārei on 25 February 2001. Ten teams played seven-player, two-flag games under New Zealand Paintball Players Association rules.[1]
Extreme X scored 595 points and placed fourth in the combined standings:[1][2]
| Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Saints | 900 |
| 2 | Phantom | 755 |
| 3 | Phoenix | 730 |
| 4 | Extreme X | 595 |
The contemporary tournament report identifies Kyn and Vanessa as Extreme X players and describes both as former Black Dragon members.[1] Kyn is identified as Kyn Jackson through contemporary records concerning Actions Paintball and his player profile.[3] A participant identification gives Vanessa's name at the time as Vanessa Jackson, now Vanessa Page; the recovered tournament report itself provides only her first name. A complete Extreme X roster has not been recovered.
The former Black Dragon association concerns the two named players. It does not establish that Extreme X was a renamed or successor Black Dragon organisation.
