Editing Jets Oresund (section)

== History ==

=== Riot (2017–2018) ===

The team originally operated under the name '''Riot'''.

Its earliest identified Facebook announcement was published on 10 December 2017, stating "And so we are RIOT!"[1]

This establishes that the Riot identity was publicly announced by that date, although the team's precise founding date has not been independently established.

Riot remained active during 2018.

=== Rebranding as Jets (2019) ===

On 2 January 2019, [[Riot (Scandinavian paintball team)|Riot]] announced that it was changing its name to '''Jets'''.[2]

The team confirmed that the existing playing squad would continue under the new name.

The announcement described a decision to move away from recreational participation towards more serious tournament competition.

Jets outlined plans to compete at all four NXL Europe events during 2019, alongside regional CPS tournaments and training sessions in Sweden and Denmark.

The Jets name has been described in historical participant accounts as a tribute to the Australian tournament team [[Jetts (Australian paintball team)|Jetts]], for which New Zealand player [[Mat Lewis]] previously played.[5]

The Australian Jetts and Scandinavian Jets were separate organisations.

=== European tournament competition ===

Jets subsequently competed in NXL Europe.

At the 2021 European Championships, the team finished seventh in Division 2 X-Ball.[3]

In 2026, Jets competed in the Semi-Pro X-Ball division, finishing 20th at the British Invitational.[4]
