2011 TPOC Young Blood Paintball Challenge

2011 TPOC Young Blood Paintball Challenge was a paintball tournament held on 17 April 2011 at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya in Pattaya, Thailand. It was promoted under the Thailand Paintball Official Circuit (TPOC) name and offered Division 3 competition.[1][5]

Competition format

The tournament used a five-player, race-to-one M5 format. Games had a seven-minute time limit, with semi-automatic firing capped at 13 balls per second.[1][5]

Each Division 3 team was permitted to include a maximum of one Division 2 player. The announcement offered free use of DYE Proto Reflex 2011 markers and allowed competitors to use their own markers.[1][5]

Registration and advertised prizes

The organiser's announcement listed an entry fee of THB2,000 and a paintball price of THB1,500, without specifying the quantity supplied at that price.[5]

The advertised prize schedule was as follows.[5]

Position	Advertised award
1	Trophy, medals and THB15,000
2	Medals and THB10,000
3	Medals and THB6,000
4	Medals and THB3,000

The announced cash prizes totalled THB34,000. These figures describe the advertised awards rather than independently verified payments.[5]

On 12 April, the organiser published a registration list containing 16 teams, with payment statuses identifying teams that had paid and others intending to pay at the captains' meeting. This was a pre-event registration list, rather than a confirmed attendance count or results table.[6]

Event arrangements

An updated organiser's notice scheduled the captains' meeting at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya for 19:00 on 16 April 2011. The arrangements included a rules briefing, field walk and draw for competition groups.[6]

Competitors intending to use their own markers were instructed to submit them for adjustment after the draw. The organiser stated that unadjusted personal markers would not be permitted in competition.[6]

Contemporary coverage

A video titled “TPOC Young Blood PaintBall Challenge 2011 by C.A.T.Pattaya” recorded the tournament's date, venue and competition rules in its description.[1]

Further footage was published under the titles “TPOC Young Blood PaintBall Challenge 2011 #JMY udon” and “differ pattaya team”. The latter video's description explicitly identifies the Young Blood event.[2][3]

The official TPOC website subsequently listed “TPOC Pattaya Young Blood in 2011 with M5 format” among tournaments its organiser had completed.[4]
