Editing 2001 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament

'''2001 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament''' was a seven-player paintball tournament held on 2–3 June 2001 at Rotorua International Stadium. Seventeen teams competed in the event, organised by [[Tag n' Release]] and the Rotorua Paintball Club. Australia's Jetts won Division One, while Team Damage won Division Two.[1]

== Tournament ==
Games used two flags, with teams attempting to capture the opposition's flag and return it to their own starting station. Competition took place across a Sup'Air inflatable field and a smaller speedball field.[1]

Each team played fourteen preliminary games. The top four teams in each division advanced to separate divisional finals.[1]
