Created article on the 2007 Northland Open, documenting its relocation to A Paintball Adventure in Papakura, five-player format, eight competing teams and complete Professional and Amateur division results from contemporary ezboard records.
 
Rewrite concisely with verified divisional results and individual awards; clarify the Cut-throats/Nemisis name change, remove repetitive commentary and retain the correct New Zealand tournament category.

'''Menace''' finished first, followed by XXX, Legion and Foundation.[2]
The results listed the second-place Amateur team as “Nemisis / Cut-throats”. In the pre-event discussion, a team member announced the change from Cut-throats to Nemisis, and the organiser subsequently used the new name in the entry list.[1][2]

'''Sinista''' won the Amateur division.
Johnny received the move-of-the-day award for advancing down the field without paint. Wouter’s name, initially reported as “Vota”, was corrected in a subsequent reply.[2]
 
The original results report listed the second-place team as ''Nemisis / Cut-throats''. Earlier tournament announcements document the adoption of the name Nemisis by players previously associated with Cut-throats.[1][2]
 
== Participation ==
 
The results report recorded eight competing teams.[2]
 
The relatively small field was noted in contemporary discussion, with another tournament, the [[Hawke's Bay Triples]], taking place over the same weekend.
 
However, the surviving accounts do not establish whether the scheduling conflict directly affected participation.
 
== Historical records ==
 
The principal surviving sources are the original tournament announcement and the results published on the [[NZ Paintball Message Boards]].
 
The announcement preserves the event's date, venue, competition format, entry fees and intended prizes.[1]
 
The results report establishes the final placings in both divisions.[2]
 
Individual match scores and complete player rosters have not been recovered.
 
This edition is notable within the documented history of the [[Northland Open]] because it took place at an indoor facility in Papakura rather than at a venue in Northland.
