2026 NAWASIA First Leg
2026 NAWASIA First Leg was a paintball tournament held on 9–10 May 2026 at SAP Sports Field in Bangkok, Thailand. Documented results include Infernal winning Division 1, Destroyer by TKC finishing second in Division 1, and a Golden Dragons–Myanmar squad finishing second in Division 3.[1][2][7][8][9]
Advertised divisions
An invitation issued in the name of World Paintball Sport Academy advertised three divisions using a split-deck X-Ball format. Each division allowed a roster of ten players.[1]
| Advertised division | Format | Game duration | Entry fee |

| 4 Star | Race-to-three | 9 minutes | ฿4,000 |
| 3 Star | Race-to-two | 6 minutes | ฿3,000 |
OGWEAR's subsequent event report names 2-Star, 3-Star and 4-Star divisions. DYE Asia's results posts use the designation D1, while a player report shared by Golden Dragons–Myanmar identifies Division 3. The available sources do not establish how these designations correspond.[5][7][8][9]
Advertised rules
The announcement specified a velocity limit of 300 feet per second and a firing-rate limit of 10.5 balls per second. Competition points were advertised as three for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss.[1]
