The '''2014 INPL season''' was the [[Iran National Paintball League]] premier competition for the Iranian calendar year 1393. Eight teams competed over seven rounds across seven months. [[Datis (Iran Paintball Team)|Datis Tehran]] won the championship, followed by Ariaman Tehran and [[Griffin (Iran Paintball Team)|Griffin Qazvin]].[1][2]

== Competition structure ==

The [[Iran Paintball Association]] announced that eight approved teams would enter the premier competition. Its initial programme stated that the association would not operate Division 2 at that stage and would consider further arrangements during the second half of 1393.[3]

The association's season-conclusion report identified participating teams from Tehran, Alborz, Qazvin, Kerman, Isfahan and Khorasan Razavi provinces.[1]

The announced dates for Rounds 2, 4 and 5 are distinguished from independently confirmed playing dates. Archive capture dates are not event dates.

=== Date discrepancies ===

IRNA announced Round 2 for 6 Tir 1393 (27 June 2014). The association's photo-gallery title instead contains “93/3/06”; the discrepancy has not been resolved.[6][8]

For the final round, the archived association report gives “Friday, 2 Azar”. This falls after Hamshahri's report of the completed event on 1 November 2014 and does not match the stated weekday in 1393. The precise final-round date therefore remains unresolved.[1][2]

== Final championship standings ==

These are overall season placings. The cited reports do not provide cumulative points or a separate final-round podium.[1][2]

== International competition programme ==

The association explained that the seven-month domestic league was intended to maintain teams' readiness for the [[Paintball Asia League Series|Asia-Pacific league]]. The concluding domestic round was scheduled approximately two weeks before the final Asia-Pacific event.[1][2]

== National-team selection ==

The association assessed players across the eight league teams and invited twenty to a national-team camp. Ten were subsequently selected for Iran's national squad.[1][2]

The season-conclusion report announced the squad's forthcoming participation in the 2014 Nations Cup in Langkawi, Malaysia.[1]
