Editing 2008 Wanganui Speedball (section)

== Scoring system ==

The competition used a cumulative points system based on flag objectives, player eliminations and losses.[2]

{| class="wikitable"
! Action
! Points
|-
| Flag hang
| +50
|-
| Flag grab
| +25
|-
| Opponent eliminated
| +5
|-
| Own player eliminated
| −5
|}

The organisers also introduced a minimum score of 50 points for a team participating in a round.

This rule was intended to prevent a competing team from finishing below a team that had not entered the event.[2]

=== Special rounds ===

Sponsored special rounds awarded additional points.

The published rules identified the Paintball Direct round as a double-points competition.

For that round, the website specified:

{| class="wikitable"
! Action
! Points
|-
| Flag hang
| +100
|-
| Flag grab
| +50
|-
| Opponent eliminated
| +10
|-
| Own player eliminated
| −5
|}

The minimum round score remained 50 points.[2]

Death Wish recorded 1,130 points in the Paintball Direct round, the highest single-round total in the surviving 2008 standings.
