Editing Thailand Paintball Official Circuit

'''Thailand Paintball Official Circuit''' ('''TPOC''') was a [[paintball]] tournament series in Thailand, documented through contemporary records from 2011 to 2017. Events took place in Pattaya, Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket, with formats varying between rounds and divisions.[1][2][3][4][5]

Its founding date, complete season calendars and final year of operation have not been established.

== History ==

=== Early records, 2011–2013 ===
The PALS Thailand website published overall TPOC rankings after the first leg of the 2011 season. Infernal led Division 1 and Lakehill Arowana led Division 2, each with 50 points.[1]

The [[2011 TPOC Young Blood Paintball Challenge]] took place on 17 April at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya. It offered Division 3 competition using a five-player, race-to-one format.[2]

Contemporary coverage also documents a second leg in Pattaya, where Differ by C.A.T. Pattaya won Division 2. A separate report published in October recorded Ahmad Sophian finishing second in Division 1 at the season's final leg.[6][7]

In 2012, C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya hosted the first round on 4–5 February and the second on 16–17 June. The third round was advertised for 22–23 December at [[Expressway Paintball Club]] in Bangkok.[3][8][9]

Records for 2013 include a first-leg announcement on PBThailand, second-leg coverage from Pattaya, and match footage identifying the third round in Chiang Mai on 3–4 August.[10][11][12][13]

=== Subsequent events, 2014–2017 ===
Expressway Paintball Club hosted the opening round of 2014 on 8–9 February. Its registration record listed six paid entries in each of two divisions. Contemporary SPEED Aisawan coverage also identifies a second leg in Pattaya that year.[14][15]

The first two rounds of 2015 took place on 24–25 January at Expressway Paintball Club and 23–24 May in Chiang Mai.[16][17]

Video coverage documents TPOC events in Chiang Mai and at Expressway Paintball Club in 2016. The [[2016 TPOC Gelkaps Phuket International]] followed on 23–25 September at Surin Beach Soccer Stadium, with 30 paid entries across three divisions.[4][18][19]

Aisawan won Division 1 at Phuket, Waxers Legion won Division 2 and Siren Army won Division 3.[20]

In 2017, match footage identifies the opening round in Chiang Mai. A DYE Paintball report published in July documents a Bangkok event, with Inception Aisawan winning Division 1 and United Aisawan winning Division 2. The Bangkok report provides selected placings rather than complete standings.[5][21]

The relationship between the 2011 Young Blood Challenge and the season's numbered rounds has not been established.

A separate film identifies a 2017 second leg, but its description does not provide a location or playing dates. Its relationship to the documented Bangkok event remains unresolved, so it is not counted as an additional event above.[22]

== Competition formats ==
Formats varied between events. The 2011 Young Blood Challenge used five-player, race-to-one competition, while the February 2012 round used race-to-three in Division 1 and race-to-two in Division 2.[2][3]

The February 2014 Bangkok event used five-player race-to-two in both divisions. Phuket's 2016 registration record listed race-to-four in Division 1, X-Ball in Division 2 and race-to-two in Division 3.[4][14]
