Editing Nescafe Kickstart Paintball Tournament 2008 (section)

== Competition ==

The tournament took place at MAPAAC in Kompleks Sukan Astaka, Petaling Jaya.

The published announcement advertised Open and School divisions. The Open division was restricted to Malaysian Division 3 and Division 4 teams, with Division 1 and Division 2 players excluded. Competitors were required to use mechanical house markers. [1]

The announcement also advertised a separate School division, but the surviving results do not establish whether that division was contested. The results report instead describes the completed competition as the Novice division. [1][2]

Twenty-four teams took part, including teams from Perak, Pahang and Malacca. Television production crews recorded the tournament and its preparations for ''Nescafé Kick-Start''. [2]

Shimi Army led the preliminary standings with 394 points. Ocean 18 placed second and Raptor placed third during the preliminary stage. Sixteen teams advanced to the knockout rounds. [2]

Planet 2 secured the final knockout place after a one-on-one match against Echoes. During the later knockout rounds, AMP SIN-X eliminated OLX before defeating Shimi Army in the semi-final. Raptor defeated Planet 1 in the other semi-final. [2]

AMP SIN-X and Raptor met in the final. The championship was decided through a one-on-one contest, with AMP SIN-X taking first place. [2]
