Editing 2002 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament (section)

== Tournament ==
Games used a centre flag and lasted ten minutes. Teams initially competed in four pools seeded according to performances at previous events. The ten highest-scoring teams across the pools advanced to the Cup competition, while the remaining ten contested the Plate.[1]

Two inflatable fields were used. One was the Sup'Air field used at the 2001 tournament, subsequently purchased by Extreme Events, an Auckland organisation headed by Wayne Rolleston. The other came from Christchurch and was supplemented with wooden barricades.[1]

Australian teams Jetts and Diabolique attended, both including some New Zealand players.[1]
