Editing Kyn Jackson (section)

=== Tournament organisation ===

Jackson was involved in organising and administering paintball tournaments during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Contemporary tournament announcements identify him with events hosted by Actions Paintball Sports Arena and with efforts to introduce competitive formats more closely aligned with international paintball.

==== APSA's Mayhem ====

'''APSA's Mayhem''' was a tournament organised in Auckland by Actions Paintball Sports Arena.

A tournament calendar preserved by Mercenaries Star described the event's change from five-player to seven-player competition as part of Jackson's plans to bring New Zealand tournament paintball closer to international standards.[4]

The change reflected the importance of seven-player competition in international tournament paintball at the time.

==== Rotorua Invitational ====

Jackson was also involved in preparations for the [[Rotorua Invitational]], a tournament developed by [[Tag n' Release]] and Rotorua Paintball Club.

A contemporary announcement by Russell "Dangermouse" Clement described plans for a seven-player tournament at Rotorua International Stadium.

The event was intended to use two Sup'Air fields and attract teams from New Zealand and potentially Australia.

Clement stated that Tag n' Release members had undertaken most of the planning and had asked Jackson to manage the event on the day.[5]

Jackson's role was therefore associated with tournament administration rather than the original conception of the event.

==== Other tournaments ====

Actions Paintball continued hosting competitive and recreational events during the 2000s.

Correspondence preserved on the company's website includes a message addressed to Jackson thanking him for organising an Easter tournament. The writer, representing Phantom Five, referred to the work undertaken by Jackson and the event marshals and expressed interest in the following Queen's Birthday tournament.[3]

The surviving correspondence identifies Jackson as an organiser involved in the practical administration of competitive events.
