Thailand Paintball Official Circuit: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:14, 2 November 2026

Thailand Paintball Official Circuit (TPOC) was a paintball tournament series in Thailand, documented in contemporary records from 2011 to 2017. Events took place in Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai and Phuket.[1][3][5][6][9][10][12]

The circuit used divisional competition and cumulative season points. Published final standings identify Infernal as the 2013 Division 1 overall champion and Blueblood as the Division 2 overall champion.[2]

The complete operating history and final year of the circuit have not been established.

History

Development and early seasons

The official TPOC website stated that planning for the 2011 circuit began early that year, with consultation from Patrick Tan and Benjamin Yaw. Its organiser's account identified the 2009 Charity Cup, 2010 Lakehill Arowana tournament and 2011 TPOC Young Blood Paintball Challenge among previously organised events.[1]

The account reported 11 teams across Divisions 1 and 2 at the opening round of 2011. Official standings after that round placed Infernal first in Division 1 and Lakehill Arowana first in Division 2, each with 50 points.[1][3]

The separately documented Young Blood Challenge took place on 17 April 2011 at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya. It offered Division 3 competition using a five-player, race-to-one format. Its relationship to the season's numbered rounds has not been established.[4]

In 2012, the first round took place at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya on 4–5 February, followed by a second round at the same venue on 16–17 June.[5][6]

2013 season

The 2013 season comprised three documented rounds, including a second round in Pattaya and a finale in Chiang Mai on 3–4 August.[2][7]

The Chiang Mai event was promoted together with CMPL Leg 2. Its organiser reported 23 teams across four divisions and 80 games over two days.[7][8]

Infernal won two Division 1 rounds and finished the season with 110 points, ahead of Macdev Hellbourne on 105 and Hittballez on 100. Blueblood won the Division 2 overall title with 110 points, followed by Hornet on 105 and Virgin on 75.[2]

Later documented seasons

Expressway Paintball Club hosted the opening round of 2014 on 8–9 February. PBLeagues recorded six paid entries in each of two divisions.[9]

The first two documented rounds of 2015 took place on 24–25 January at Expressway Paintball Club in Bangkok and 23–24 May in Chiang Mai.[10][11]

The 2016 TPOC Gelkaps Phuket International took place on 23–25 September at Surin Beach Soccer Stadium. PBLeagues recorded 30 paid entries across three divisions. Aisawan won Division 1, Waxers Legion won Division 2 and Siren Army won Division 3.[12][13]

Contemporary footage identifies the opening round of 2017 in Chiang Mai. A separate DYE Paintball report documents a Bangkok event, where Inception Aisawan won Division 1 and United Aisawan won Division 2.[14][15]

Seasons

The yearly articles bring together documented events, formats and results. Where records remain incomplete, they distinguish confirmed information from unresolved calendar and standings gaps.

Season	Documented records
2011	Numbered rounds, opening-round standings and formats; the Young Blood Challenge is documented separately.[1][3][4]
2012	Three individual round articles; contemporary footage records the first two rounds at C.A.T. Paintball Pattaya.[5][6]
2013	Three rounds and complete published final standings for Divisions 1 and 2.[2]

The available season articles do not establish that all events or operating years have been recovered.

Competition formats

Formats varied between seasons and events.

The published 2011 programme specified race-to-three with ten-minute games in Division 1 and race-to-two with seven-minute games in Division 2. Both divisions permitted PSP or Millennium ramping at 13 balls per second.[19]

The February 2014 Bangkok event used five-player race-to-two competition in both divisions, with ten-minute games in Division 1 and eight-minute games in Division 2.[9]

Phuket's 2016 registration record listed race-to-four in Division 1, X-Ball in Division 2 and five-player race-to-two in Division 3.[12]
