Editing Lycka (New Zealand Paintball Team)

'''Lycka''' was a New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team from Invercargill, documented during 1999.[1][2]

== Tournament history ==

Lycka competed in the [[1999 National Three-Man Centre Flag Competition]] at the Southern Paintball Sports Club fields in Invercargill on 6 June 1999. Four teams played in the tournament.[1]

Lycka recorded −9 points against [[Psychosis (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Psychosis]], 1 point against Deviants and 11 points against Courage Under Fire. The team finished fourth in the published round-robin table with a total of 3 points and did not advance to the final.[1]

The negative score against Psychosis is retained as printed in the contemporary results.

In the retrospective 1999 [[Valhalla National Rankings]], Lycka was tied for twenty-first with Shadow Hawkes. Both teams received a calculated ranking score of 2.[2]

The Valhalla figure was a ranking value rather than a tournament score or championship placing.

No verified roster, captain, founding date, alternative spelling or later tournament appearance has been recovered.
