The '''2011–2012 SAPC Five-Man Series''' was a five-player paintball competition organised by [[South Auckland Paintball Club]] at [[Lock N Load Paintball]] on Nixon Road near Auckland Airport. Announced in October 2011, it was intended as a monthly social speedball competition for established teams and players entering tournament paintball. Events on 13 November and 11 December 2011 are documented in contemporary reports. [1][2][3]

== Organisation and format ==
The series was announced on 9 October 2011 with a provisional calendar extending from November 2011 to December 2012. Events were generally scheduled for the second Sunday of each month, with breaks to avoid major [[New Zealand Paintball Players League|NZPPL]] tournament weekends. Players without teams were invited to form scratch teams. [1]

The original format was five-player hopperball, limiting each player's paint supply to their loader. Entry was advertised at NZ$20 per player, with field paint supplied by Killa Paint New Zealand and compressed-air fills included. The announcement specified NZPPL rules and rotating refereeing duties among participating teams. [1]

== Documented events ==

=== 13 November 2011 ===
The opening event took place on 13 November 2011. An organiser's report posted that evening linked photographs and thanked visiting players, referees and the 300FPS shop crew. No results were supplied in the surviving discussion. [2]

=== 11 December 2011 ===
Eight teams attended the December event. The organiser reported that BOP and Wipeout finished joint first. No numerical scores or remaining placings were published in the recovered report. [3]

{| class="wikitable"
! Placing
! Team
|-
| Joint first

These placings relate to the December event rather than the overall series. [3]

== Planned continuation in 2012 ==
The provisional calendar listed the next event for 15 January 2012. Following the December tournament, the organiser proposed retaining five-player teams while changing the paint allowance to hopper plus one pod. A further announcement on 9 January specified that format for the forthcoming weekend. The surviving discussion does not confirm the January event's completion or results. [1][3]
