Team Insane competed in New Zealand's regional tournament circuit and finished second in the three-man category of the 2001 [[Valhalla National Rankings]], with 181.7 ranking points.[1]


Junaidi Khalil became involved in competitive paintball officiating during the early development of organised tournament paintball in Malaysia.
== International competition ==


A historical account published by Malaysian paintball operator Roslim Abu in September 2009 identified Khalil as an organiser of the October 2004 Ampang Super 5 tournament, alongside Delta Paintball.[1]
=== Team Kiwi and Malaysia ===


The same account described him as the leader of an early internationally recognised Malaysian paintball refereeing team.
In 2004, Earley helped assemble and organise a [[Team Kiwi]] delegation for an international tournament at Xtion Paintball in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.


It also credited Khalil as the first Malaysian to referee in the European [[Millennium Series]].
He accompanied the delegation as an organiser, served as a referee on Field 2 and assisted with tournament commentary. He was not a competing player on the 2004 team.


These historical claims were published by a participant in the Malaysian paintball industry. The exact dates and events associated with Khalil's Millennium Series officiating have not been independently established.
The delegation finished fifth. Earley documented the tournament in a report published in January 2005.[2]


=== International officiating ===
He returned to Malaysia in 2005 to compete at the Asia Pacific Paintball Championship with a separate Team Kiwi lineup.


By 2007, Khalil was officiating international paintball competitions.
Earley subsequently became involved in tournaments associated with the [[Paintball Asia League Series]] (PALS), including Malaysian national and international competitions.


A May 2009 Singapore Paintball Novice Series report described him as having refereeing experience at Paintball World Cup Asia from 2007 and the 2008 Asia Paintball Invitational Tournament in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.[2]
=== Phoenix Tahiti ===


The report identified him as a leading Asian paintball referee.
Earley played for [[Phoenix Tahiti]], a French Polynesian tournament paintball team, at international competitions in Malaysia.


His involvement in these events preceded his later work in formal referee training programmes in Singapore.
At the 2012 [[Paintball World Cup Asia]], he competed with Phoenix Authority in Division 2. A contemporary report in ''La Dépêche de Tahiti'' identified Earley as the New Zealand member of the multinational squad, which finished 17th among 28 teams.[3]

=== United States ===


The organisation's activities included training referees from countries with developing competitive paintball scenes.
Earley worked for [[Giant Sportz]] in Southern California as Design, Marketing and Events Manager during the mid-2010s.[7]


Khalil's work in Singapore provides an early documented example of this regional cooperation.
His work included marketing, graphic design, event organisation and field operations associated with [[SC Village]], [[Hollywood Sports Park]] and [[Giant San Diego]].


His activities demonstrate the role played by experienced Malaysian officials in transferring tournament knowledge and refereeing practices to neighbouring countries.
He also undertook refereeing and event management responsibilities at Giant Sportz facilities.

The Singapore Paintball Novice Series had been established in 2008 as an introductory competitive paintball competition.

A November 2010 report concerning the Singapore Paintball Series identified him as Manager of AsiaRef, now covered in WikiPaintball under [[Asia Refs]].[3]
He has served as a non-executive strategic adviser, supporting administration, international relationships, communications and the development of training facilities.


The report explained that the organisers invited Khalil to improve local refereeing standards before the tournament.
His involvement has also included supporting Malta Paintball's participation in the [[Central Paintball Premier Series]] (CPPS) in the United Kingdom and its national team programme.


The Singapore Paintball Series took place at East Coast Park on 16–17 October 2010.
In September 2026, Earley was a member of Malta's inaugural [[UPBF Nations Cup]] squad at the NXL European Championships in Dreux, France. Malta Paintball's published tournament report identifies him among the eight players representing the country.[8]


The event attracted 29 teams across four divisions.
He has also contributed to the organisation's plans for player development, women's participation and referee training.
 
The training programme formed part of efforts to develop a domestic referee workforce capable of officiating competitions under international paintball rules.
 
=== Singapore Paintball Series 2012 ===
 
Khalil was again associated with Singaporean referee development in 2012.
 
A January 2012 report described him officiating Division 1 matches alongside Singapore Paintball Series referees.[4]
 
The report identified Asia Refs as an important regional refereeing organisation and described plans for further cooperation between its officials and Singaporean referees.
 
The Singapore Paintball Series also announced plans to conduct additional referee certification courses during 2012.
 
== Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit ==
 
=== Head of Rules and Regulations ===
 
Khalil served as Head of Rules and Regulations for the Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit in 2010.
 
A January 2010 tournament announcement listed the following officials:[5]
 
{| class="wikitable"

| Tournament Director
|-
| Junaidi Khalil
| Head of Rules and Regulations
|-
| [[Allan Phang]]
| Team Liaison and Registration
|-

| Media and Promotions
|}
 
The announcement identified Khalil as representing Asia Refs.
 
His responsibilities related to the application and enforcement of tournament rules.
 
=== Tournament discipline ===
 
Khalil participated in MPOC disciplinary administration.
 
An April 2010 announcement concerning player misconduct identified him among officials attending a committee meeting.[6]
 
The committee addressed incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct and harassment of referees.
 
The published decision included suspensions for several participants and warned that future misconduct could result in disciplinary penalties.
 
The announcement illustrates the role of tournament officials in establishing and enforcing standards of player behaviour.
 
== Pattaya International Paintball Championship ==
 
=== Tournament Ultimate ===
 
Khalil served as Tournament Ultimate for the 2010 [[Pattaya International Paintball Championship]] in Thailand.
 
A contemporary report published by ''Seburo'' on 8 March 2010 identified Khalil as the official conducting the Division 1 tournament draw.[7]
 
The draw was recorded on video and distributed before the event.

A document prepared by Paul W. Y. Lam and circulated at a public hearing identified him as:
 
"En. Junaidi bin Khalil – Marshalling"
 
The proposed committee also included representatives of tournament organisers, equipment vendors, field operators and state paintball associations.[8]
 
The document establishes Khalil's involvement in the proposed governance structure.
 
It does not establish that he subsequently held an elected office in a formally registered federation.
 
== International recognition ==
 
A September 2009 historical account by Roslim Abu credited Khalil with two early milestones:
 
* Leading an internationally recognised Malaysian paintball marshalling team
* Becoming the first Malaysian to referee in the Millennium Series
 
The account reflects the historical perspective of a Malaysian paintball industry participant.[1]
 
Additional contemporary Millennium Series records would be required to verify the specific event dates and appointments.
