=== World Cup Asia 2012: Phoenix Authority ===

Phoenix Authority competed at the 2012 Paintball World Cup Asia, held in Langkawi, Malaysia, as part of the Paintball Asia League Series.

The team competed in Division 2 with a multinational roster.

A contemporary report in ''La Dépêche de Tahiti'', titled "Une honorable 17e place", identified the following players:

* [[Ralph Tsing]] (Tahiti)
* Christian Veroux (Tahiti)
* Moana Le Foc (Tahiti)
* Michael Earley (New Zealand)
* Tim Matthee (Australia)
* Badman Bud (Malaysia)
* Ku Zambree (Malaysia)

The newspaper reported that the squad had been unable to assemble a complete Tahitian lineup and therefore recruited international teammates. [7]

Phoenix Authority finished 17th out of 28 teams in Division 2.

The original tournament preliminary standings record the squad in 17th position, with 2.5 competition points, nine sets won and 12 sets lost.

The contemporary newspaper report also confirms the team's 17th-place finish.

The appearance demonstrates the team's early use of multinational rosters and the international connections that would continue throughout its history.
