Editing 2008 Tauranga 5 Man (section)

== Venue and format ==
The competition used a speedball field near Tip Lane, beyond the Mount Maunganui speedway. The advertised field measured approximately 32 by 62 metres and contained 21 inflatable bunkers.[1]

The original announcement specified a hopper and two additional pods per player, field-supplied paint and player refereeing supervised by a head referee. Entry cost NZ$35 per player, with paintballs priced at NZ$85 per case. Players were initially instructed to supply their own compressed air.[1]

For the September event, the organiser described the paint allowance as a hopper plus one pod. Players were still advised to arrange their own air supplies while the venue's compressor was unavailable.[2]
