'''Carnage''' was a New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team documented competing from 2005 to 2007. Its name was also published as '''Karnage'''; the two spellings refer to the same New Zealand team.[1][2]

The team's best confirmed results were third place in the opening round of the [[2005 Hamilton 3x Series]] and third in Division Two at the [[2007 Christchurch X-ball Tournament]].[2][3]

== History ==

Carnage competed at the [[2005 Hawke’s Bay Triples]], where it recorded 280 points in the published nine-team score table. The contemporary report identifies Paul “Spider” McKay as a guest player who travelled from Hamilton to compete with the team.[4]

At the [[2005 Auckland Queen’s Birthday Superball]] on 4–5 June, Carnage finished thirteenth overall and fifth in the Plate classification.[5]

The team appeared as '''Karnage''' in the opening round of the Hamilton 3x Series on 10 July. It finished third of twelve teams with 791 points and received two series points.[2] The cumulative standings published after the second round used the spelling '''Carnage''' and credited the team with four points. Carnage did not appear in the second-round event results, so the additional series points are preserved as published rather than attributed to an undocumented placing.[1]

In September 2007, Karnage finished third in Division Two at the 2007 Christchurch X-ball Tournament. Contemporary posts identify Outlaws as the division winner and confirm Nurv in fourth; the reported second-place identification of Blindboyz was expressly uncertain and is not required for Carnage's placing.[3]

All of these New Zealand Carnage and Karnage records are treated as the same team based on contributor confirmation. No complete roster or verified founding date has been recovered.
