Created an article on the 1993 Pacific Stockgun Paintball Championships, a five-player stock-class tournament held at Island Paintball Sports at Kualoa Ranch on Oahu. Added the competition format, equipment restrictions, participating Hawaiian and Californian teams, shortened six-round schedule, officials, sponsors and documented results. Corrected “Pacific Shotgun Championships” to the published event name, “Pacific Stockgun Paintball Championships”.
 
Add American decade and tournament results categories; retain United States, Hawaii and stock-class categories, and verify the shortened format and final placements against contemporary coverage.
