Editing Malaysian Paintball Referee Organisation (section)

=== Early activity ===

M-PRO was named among the organisations involved in ''[[ASTRO PLATUN]]'', a Malaysian televised paintball programme broadcast by Astro in 2007. A contemporary announcement credited Astro, [[Tactical Action]], MY-NPL and M-PRO in connection with the production.[1] The surviving announcement does not define M-PRO's precise production or officiating responsibilities.

On 7 February 2008, M-PRO held a referee course at the [[Malaysian Paintball Academy (MAPAAC)]]. The advertised programme included classroom instruction and on-field training, followed by a certificate of attendance. The announcement stated that participants could have an opportunity to officiate future MY-NPL matches.[2]

The course demonstrates that M-PRO was conducting organised referee instruction by 2008. A certificate of attendance should not, however, be treated as evidence of a wider accreditation system without further documentation.
