View source for 2026 NAWASIA First Leg

'''2026 NAWASIA First Leg''' was a [[paintball]] tournament held on 9–10 May 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. The event programme and GunzUp listing identified SAP Field as the venue. Organiser livestream records identify both playing dates, while contemporary coverage reports a third-place finish for OGBOYS.[1][2][3][4][5]

== Advertised divisions ==
An invitation issued in the name of World Paintball Sport Academy advertised three divisions using a split-deck X-Ball format. Each division allowed a roster of ten players.[1]

{| class="wikitable"
! Advertised division !! Format !! Game duration !! Entry fee
|-
| 5 Star || Race-to-four || 12 minutes || ฿5,000
|-
| 4 Star || Race-to-three || 9 minutes || ฿4,000
|-
| 3 Star || Race-to-two || 6 minutes || ฿3,000
|}

OGWEAR's subsequent event report instead names 2-Star, 3-Star and 4-Star divisions. The available sources do not explain the difference, so the advance programme should not be treated as a confirmed account of the divisions played.[5]

== Advertised rules ==
The announcement specified a velocity limit of 300 feet per second and a firing-rate limit of 10.5 balls per second. Competition points were advertised as three for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.[1]

== Documented result ==
OGWEAR reported that OGBOYS finished third. Its video title and description explicitly identify the 2026 first leg, but do not specify the team's division, opponents or match scores.[5]

Complete divisional standings have not been recovered.

== Contemporary coverage ==
Acha Aisawan published livestream records titled ''NAWASIA CHAMPIONSHIP 1ST LEG 09052026'' and ''NAWASIA CHAMPIONSHIP 1ST LEG 10.05.2026'', identifying competition on 9 and 10 May respectively.[3][4]

OGWEAR subsequently published highlights documenting the completed weekend and preparations for a second leg.[6]
