Malaysian Super Lite

Not to be confused with the later Malaysia Paintball Super League (MPSL).

Malaysian Super Lite (MSL), also styled Malaysia Super Lite, was a Malaysian tournament paintball competition organised by Nemesis Paintball Club with the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL). It used a shortened race-to-three tournament format and was held at the Malaysian Paintball Academy (MAPAAC) in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.[1][2]

The first documented edition was held in 2009. A second edition followed in 2010, and another event was included in the provisional MY-NPL calendar for 2011.[1][3][4]

Format

The 2009 tournament used an X-ball Lite format in which teams raced to three points within an eight-minute match period, with a maximum of five points played.[1] Semi-automatic uncapped and PSP burst modes capped at 12 balls per second were permitted. Other competition rules were drawn from the MY-NPL rule book.[1]

The principal competition was divided into Open and Amateur/Novice categories. A separate Division 4 tournament was held concurrently under the standard MY-NPL rules.[1][2]

For the 2010 edition, the match period was increased to 13 minutes while retaining the race-to-three structure.[3]

2009 edition

The inaugural Malaysian Super Lite was held at MAPAAC, Kompleks Sukan Astaka, Petaling Jaya, on 10 and 11 October 2009.[1][2] Nemesis Paintball Club and MY-NPL headquarters jointly invited and registered the participating teams.[1]

Twenty-two teams competed: six in Open, six in Amateur/Novice and ten in Division 4.[2] Nemesis Legion won the Open division, Marauders Elite won Amateur/Novice and JS won Division 4.[2]

Division	Teams	1st	2nd	3rd	4th
Open	6	Nemesis Legion	Delta Rovers	Raskal	Xtioneer
Amateur/Novice	6	Marauders Elite	No Mercy	JB Syndicate	EJPC
Division 4	10	JS	Yin Yang	Bamboo Bullets	Fevakuza

A retrospective published by No Mercy independently records the team's second-place finish in the Amateur/Novice division.[5]

2010 edition

The second Malaysia Super Lite was held at MAPAAC from 8 to 10 October 2010, with competition scheduled across the weekend following the field walk and captains' meeting.[3] It was again organised by Nemesis Paintball Club with MY-NPL and used a race-to-three format.[3]

No complete result sheet for the 2010 edition has been located.

Proposed 2011 edition

MY-NPL's provisional 2011 calendar scheduled Malaysian Super Lite 2011 for 1 and 2 October at MAPAAC.[4] No reliable results or other confirmation that the scheduled event occurred have been located.

Relationship to the Malaysia Paintball Super League

Malaysian Super Lite used the abbreviation MSL and was associated with Nemesis Paintball Club and MY-NPL between 2009 and 2011.[1][3][4]

The separately named Malaysia Paintball Super League (MPSL) is documented as a multi-leg competition using the MPSL abbreviation in 2024.[6][7] Available records do not establish organisational continuity between the two competitions, and they are treated as distinct tournament series.
