Editing Contraband (New Zealand Paintball Team)

'''Contraband''' was a Dunedin-based New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team documented in South Island competition during 2010 and 2011. The team competed at the 2010 Christchurch Easter tournament and Southern Series II in Ashburton.[1][2]

== Tournament history ==

=== 2010 Christchurch Easter tournament ===

Contraband competed in Division One at the [[2010 Easter 5s|2010 Christchurch Easter tournament]], held at Urban Paintball in Christchurch on 3–4 April.[1]

The team finished seventh, behind SCK, Clown Monkeys, Flashpoint, Mugshot, TPC Blast and Vanguard.[1]

A contemporary forum post assigned Contraband ten points through an experimental ranking formula. These were proposed season-ranking points rather than Contraband's raw tournament score, and the source does not establish that the system was formally adopted by the NZPPL.[1]

=== 2011 Southern Series II ===

Contraband represented Dunedin at Southern Series II in Ashburton in April 2011. The five-player event used an open-class centre-flag format and included a double round robin followed by a separate Ashburton Cup competition.[2]

Contraband finished seventh among thirteen teams in the round robin with 1,278 points. The top four teams advanced to the Ashburton Cup, so Contraband did not contest the Cup placings.[2]

No verified roster, captain or home field has been recovered.
