2002 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:18, 29 October 2026

The 2002 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament, described in the contemporary report as the Tracs Volcanic, was held on 1–2 June 2002 at Rotorua International Stadium. Twenty teams competed, including Australian teams Jetts and Diabolique. Jetts won the Cup competition, retaining their 2001 title, while Rush won the Plate.[1]

Organisation

The contemporary tournament report credited Rotorua Paintball Club and Peter Mumby with organising the Volcanic tournaments.[1] Paintball BOP's archived tournament history also records that the business organised and ran the 2001 and 2002 editions in association with the club.[2]

Format

Matches used a centre-flag format with a ten-minute time limit. Teams initially competed in four pools, seeded using previous results. The ten highest-ranked teams across the pools progressed to the Cup competition, with the remaining teams entering the Plate.[1]

Two inflatable fields were used. One was the Sup’Air field used at the 2001 tournament, which had subsequently been purchased by Extreme Events, an Auckland organisation headed by Wayne Rolleston. The second came from Christchurch and was supplemented with wooden barricades.[1]
