== History ==
== History ==
The Mercenaries Star tournament calendar described the Triples as the successor to Fantasyland, a recreational paintball event whose attendance had declined.[2]


=== Origins ===
=== 1999 ===
''See [[1999 Hawke’s Bay Triples]].''


The Hawke's Bay Triples developed from an earlier recreational paintball event known as '''Fantasyland'''.
Rick Levick organised the eight-team tournament. Games lasted up to six minutes, with an allowance of 100 paintballs per player. Amon Johnson led a training session before Sunday's competition.[1]


The contemporary [[Mercenaries Star]] tournament calendar reported that Fantasyland had been replaced by the Hawke's Bay Triples following declining attendance at recreational big-game events.[3]
[[House Steiner|House Steiner Blue]] led the preliminary heats. House Steiner Red defeated The Boys From The Black Stuff in a deciding semi-final, then beat Blue by one elimination across a two-game final. Black Stuff finished third.[1]


The available records do not establish the date of the first Triples competition or the complete history of Fantasyland.
=== 2000 ===

The following edition was advertised for '''3–4 February 2001''' at the same Pines Paintball Field.[2]
=== 2004 ===
''See [[2004 Hawke’s Bay Triples]].''


The competition retained its three-player format but used centre-flag games under Australian Paintball Players League (APPL) rules.
The tournament took place over Waitangi weekend. Les Hall organised the event at a new field developed in partnership with U Drive Dirt Cars. The triangular playing area used plastic panels and 44-gallon drums as barricades.[11][12]

Partial results survive through the [[Valhalla National Rankings]], which recorded the tournament as ''Hawkesbay Triples – Round 1 Open''.[4]
The report listed Rotorua 1 with 710 points and LSR with 600. Rotorua 1 defeated LSR in the final without losing a player. These published point totals were separate from the account of the final match.[13]


=== 2006 tournament reference ===
=== 2009 ===
''See [[2009 Hawke’s Bay Triples]].''


An archived [[NZ Paintball Message Boards]] index from February 2006 contains a discussion titled ''HB Triples''.[6]
The event took place on 7–8 February at 75/77 Ngatarawa Road, Bridge Pa, Hastings. The announcement specified three-player round-robin competition, peer refereeing, five-minute games and one pod per player per game.[8]


The discussion had received 23 replies by 6 February 2006.
Entry was NZ$50 per player, with catering provided and camping available. Post-event messages confirmed that the tournament had taken place, but the preserved discussion does not supply results.[8]


This establishes that the tournament was being discussed during 2006, although the individual discussion contents and any associated competition results have not yet been recovered.
=== 2010 ===
''See [[2010 Hawke’s Bay Triples]].''


=== 2009 tournament ===
L. M. Bennett's prizegiving photographs document the February 2010 tournament. The scoreboard, photographed on 7 February, lists sixteen teams and explicitly records six placings:[9]
 
The Hawke's Bay Triples was held on '''7–8 February 2009''' at a paintball field located at:
 
'''75/77 Ngatarawa Road, Bridge Pa, Hastings, New Zealand.'''[7]
 
The event was advertised through the NZ Paintball Message Boards on 24 January 2009.
 
The tournament used a three-player round-robin format with limited paintball allowances and peer refereeing.

The organisers also advertised camping facilities and included meals and refreshments as part of the event arrangements.[7]
The entry deadline was 31 January 2009.
==== Confirmation of the event ====
Post-event messages published on 10 February 2009 described the competition and thanked those involved.
The discussion subsequently included requests for tournament photographs.
On 22 February, Les Hall posted about arrangements to make the photographs available. A link to a Flickr collection was subsequently shared on 23 February.[7]
These contemporary reports establish that the 2009 tournament took place.
The final standings, winning team and complete list of participants have not been recovered.
==== Historical photography ====
A link to photographs from the 2009 event was published in the tournament discussion on 23 February 2009.
The photographs were associated with the Flickr account ''Tempus Fugit Photos''.[7]
The original collection may provide additional evidence concerning participating teams, equipment and the playing field, subject to verification of the photographs and their dates.

The 2000 and 2001 announcements explicitly identified Pines Paintball Field as the venue.[1][2]
The 2009 announcement provided the Bridge Pa address but did not identify the location as Pines Paintball Field.[7]

The [[Valhalla National Rankings]] incorporated results from the 2001 Hawke's Bay Triples into its national three-player rankings.[4]

The teams are listed in descending order of their opening-round scores. The table does not establish the tournament's final classification.
=== Leading teams ===
House Steiner recorded the highest surviving opening-round value, with 84.3.
The Wellington Phoenix organisation entered three separately recorded squads: Red, Grey and Orange.
Other organisations with multiple entries included Crossfire and DamNatives.
The records provide evidence of participation by teams including Total Kaos, DaBayBoyz, Warp Speed, Brew Ha and Nutters, whose individual tournament histories are less extensively documented.
=== Tag n' Release ===
A contemporary [[Tag n' Release]] team profile recorded the following performance at the 2001 Hawke's Bay Triples:[5]
* Competition: Round 1 Open
* Placing: Fourth
* Points earned: 900
* Points available: 1,400
The recorded score corresponds to approximately 64.3 per cent of the available points, matching the team's normalised value of 64.3 in the Valhalla rankings.
The profile therefore corroborates the opening-round ranking entry.
It does not independently establish the team's final placing in the tournament.
== Relationship with national rankings ==
The [[Valhalla National Rankings]] maintained separate standings for different tournament formats.
In 2001, its three-player rankings incorporated results from the Hawke's Bay Triples alongside other competitions, including the Indoor Three-Man Open, National Three-Man Centre Flag Championships and Combat Zone Three-Mans.[4]
The published national championship was headed by DamNatives Red with 226.4 ranking points, followed by Insane with 181.7 and Tag n' Release GPS with 159.3.
These totals combined performances across different events and do not represent the final standings of the Hawke's Bay Triples.
== Historical records ==
The principal surviving historical sources are the original 2000 and 2001 tournament announcements, the Mercenaries Star calendar, the Valhalla National Rankings and archived discussions from the NZ Paintball Message Boards.
Together, these sources document the event's early organisation, competition rules, participating teams, venues and later activity.
The 2009 Yuku archive extends the tournament's documented history beyond the period previously established by the Mercenaries Star records.
Complete results for the 2000, 2001 and 2009 competitions have not been recovered. The available sources also do not establish whether the tournament was held every year between the documented editions or when it ceased operating.

Hawke's Bay Triples was a three-player paintball tournament held in New Zealand's Hawke's Bay region. Contemporary reports document editions from 1999 to 2005, while forum records and photographs preserve later events in 2009 and 2010.[1][7][8][9][10][11][13]

History

[edit]

The Mercenaries Star tournament calendar described the Triples as the successor to Fantasyland, a recreational paintball event whose attendance had declined.[2]

1999

[edit]

See 1999 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

Rick Levick organised the eight-team tournament. Games lasted up to six minutes, with an allowance of 100 paintballs per player. Amon Johnson led a training session before Sunday's competition.[1]

House Steiner Blue led the preliminary heats. House Steiner Red defeated The Boys From The Black Stuff in a deciding semi-final, then beat Blue by one elimination across a two-game final. Black Stuff finished third.[1]

2000

[edit]

See 2000 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

Paintball Hawke's Bay and the Hawke's Bay Paintball Club presented the February tournament at Pines Paintball Field, State Highway 50, Roys Hill. Les Hall was the event contact. The announcement specified three-player competition with a 100-round paint allowance.[3]

Eleven teams attended. House Steiner Black won, followed by House Steiner Red and Vipers 1. The dedicated results page records Cannon Fodder B eighth and Cannon Fodder A ninth.[4]

2001

[edit]

See 2001 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

The tournament took place on 3–4 February at Pines Paintball Field. The announcement specified centre-flag competition under Australian Paintball Players League rules, with 100 rounds per player per end.[5]

Fifteen teams competed across two fields, each playing fourteen preliminary games. House Steiner defeated Phoenix Red in the final. Phoenix Grey finished third and Phoenix Orange eighth.[6]

2002

[edit]

See 2002 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

Les Hall organised the 2–3 February tournament at Stoney Creek Ranch, Hastings. Seventeen teams played three-player centre-flag games with 100 paintballs per player per game.[7]

Three fields were laid out on a rugby ground: two inflatable fields and a plywood field supplied by Tag n' Release. GPS and RUSH qualified for the final, which GPS won 100–10. Comic Relief received the Most Stand-Out Team award.[7]

2003

[edit]

See 2003 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

Nine teams competed on 8–9 February at the Hawke's Bay A&P Showgrounds in Hastings, using an airball field. Phantom Menace recorded 690 points in the published team totals, followed by Damage Red on 550. Phantom Menace then defeated Damage Red 100–10 in the final.[10]

2004

[edit]

See 2004 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

The tournament took place over Waitangi weekend. Les Hall organised the event at a new field developed in partnership with U Drive Dirt Cars. The triangular playing area used plastic panels and 44-gallon drums as barricades.[11][12]

Phantom Blue led the preliminary scores with 1,050 points, followed by Fusion on 830. The published final placings recorded Fusion first and Phantom Blue second. Brewha was listed as a no-show.[11]

2005

[edit]

See 2005 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

Nine teams competed over two days on a field beside a sprint-car track. Players had an allowance of 140 paintballs per game.[13]

The report listed Rotorua 1 with 710 points and LSR with 600. Rotorua 1 defeated LSR in the final without losing a player. These published point totals were separate from the account of the final match.[13]

2009

[edit]

See 2009 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

The event took place on 7–8 February at 75/77 Ngatarawa Road, Bridge Pa, Hastings. The announcement specified three-player round-robin competition, peer refereeing, five-minute games and one pod per player per game.[8]

Entry was NZ$50 per player, with catering provided and camping available. Post-event messages confirmed that the tournament had taken place, but the preserved discussion does not supply results.[8]

2010

[edit]

See 2010 Hawke’s Bay Triples.

L. M. Bennett's prizegiving photographs document the February 2010 tournament. The scoreboard, photographed on 7 February, lists sixteen teams and explicitly records six placings:[9]

Position Team Points
1 Arachnids 1,300
2 Aces 1,250
