	'''House Steiner''' was a New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team ~~documented in competition records from at least 1998 to 2001~~. ~~The~~ team ~~appeared~~ in the [[Valhalla National Rankings]]~~, including separate Red and Black squads in 2000, and competed in five-player and three-player events in~~ 2001.[1][2][3][4]		'''House Steiner''' was a New Zealand tournament [[paintball]] team associated with Wellington, Palmerston North and Wanganui.

			=== Early competition ===

			A photograph published by the House Steiner Facebook profile on 23 August 2011 identifies the team as representing Palmerston North and Wellington at a 1991 T-Ball tournament. Its caption describes a ten-player format with 30-minute halves. This is a retrospective identification and does not establish the team's founding date.[6]

			Other photographs identify House Steiner at the T-Ball South Pacific Open in Lower Hutt. A caption published on 23 August 2011 tentatively dates one photograph to 1996. Another identifies the venue as Thunderball Adventure Games at Manor Park, Lower Hutt, and similarly gives the year as uncertain.[7]

			An additional photograph identifies House Steiner at an Actions tournament near Auckland. Comments identify the location as Helensville, with another comment specifying Parakai; the photograph's caption does not give a tournament year.[8]

			A photograph caption also records participation in a seven-player tournament in Wanganui. William Aull subsequently recalled a first-place finish in a comment, although the screenshot does not establish the tournament's date or provide contemporary results.[9]
