'''2018 NXL Australia Queensland Round 1''' was a [[NXL Australia]] paintball tournament held on 10–11 February 2018 at [[Tactical Operations Paintball|Tactical Ops Paintball]] in Queensland, Australia. The organiser's calendar advertised these dates, while contemporary reports document Saturday competition, Sunday matches and a completed final.[1][2][3]

The official Queensland calendar scheduled Round 1 for 10–11 February 2018 at Tactical Ops Paintball. The next scheduled Queensland event was [[2018 NXL Australia Queensland Round 2|Round 2]] on 19–20 May.[1]

A [[GC Blade (Australian Paintball Team)|GC Blade]] post published on 11 February described Saturday preliminary-round action at Tactical Ops during the opening 2018 Queensland NXL round.[3]
