2005 Hamilton 3x Series: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 12:18, 26 October 2026

2005 Hamilton 3x Series was a three-player paintball tournament series held in Hamilton, New Zealand. Announced as a three-event competition, it used a limited-paint format intended to reduce the cost of entering tournament paintball. Running with Scissors won the opening round on 10 July and the second round on 11 September 2005.[1][2][3]

Organisation and format

The series was announced on 1 June 2005. Each player was permitted one hopper and one additional pod of paintballs, with play on an inflatable-bunker field.[1]

The announced sponsors were Daytona Indoor Raceway, Unit Networks and Global Imports. Adrenilin Promotions was added as a supporter on 7 June. The organisers initially advertised more than NZ$400 in prizes.[1]

Dates for the later rounds changed during planning. Although a June announcement listed the second round for 14 August, the subsequent round-specific announcement scheduled it for 11 September, followed by results published on 12 September.[1][3]

Round 1: 10 July 2005

Twelve teams competed in the opening round, which comprised 66 games. Running with Scissors finished first with 989 points. The organiser acknowledged Eyeon, Vegas Eclipse and Newbees as teams whose players were largely new to tournament competition.[2]
