Editing Extreme X (New Zealand Paintball Team)

{{Short description|New Zealand tournament paintball team}}

'''Extreme X''' was a New Zealand competitive [[paintball]] team documented at the [[2001 Northland Open]]. The team finished fourth overall, behind Saints, Phantom and Wellington Phoenix.[1][2]

The available evidence does not establish that Extreme X was the same organisation as the earlier team '''Kiwi Extreme'''. The similar names have therefore been treated as separate identities unless a roster or contemporary source establishes a relationship.

== 2001 Northland Open ==

Extreme X competed at the Northland Open in Whangārei on 25 February 2001. Ten teams played seven-player, two-flag games under New Zealand Paintball Players Association rules.[1]

Extreme X scored 595 points and placed fourth in the combined standings:[1][2]

The contemporary tournament report identifies '''Kyn''' and '''Vanessa''' as Extreme X players and describes both as former [[Black Dragon (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Black Dragon]] members.[1] Kyn is identified as [[Kyn Jackson]] through contemporary records concerning Actions Paintball and his player profile.[3] A participant identification gives Vanessa's name at the time as '''Vanessa Jackson''', now '''Vanessa Page'''; the recovered tournament report itself provides only her first name. A complete Extreme X roster has not been recovered.

The former Black Dragon association concerns the two named players. It does not establish that Extreme X was a renamed or successor Black Dragon organisation.
