```mediawiki

Full Boar was a New Zealand tournament paintball team active during the 2000s. Contemporary records also used the spellings Fullboar and Full Bore.[1][2][3] A former participant has confirmed that these spellings and the team's later 2008 activity refer to the same organisation.

The team reached the finals of the 2000 Wellington Cup, finished third in the Second Division at the 2001 Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament, and competed at the 2003 Rotorua tournament.[1][2][3]

History

2000 season

Full Boar competed in the five-player Wellington Cup in 2000. A contemporary Phoenix report identifies Phoenix as the winner and names Tag n' Release, Vipers and Fullboar as the other finalists. Tag n' Release separately recorded second place, but the surviving sources do not establish the final order of Vipers and Full Boar.[1][4]

The 2000 Valhalla National Rankings placed Full Boar equal twelfth among 37 published team and squad entries, with a ranking score of 66.5.[5]

2001 season

Full Boar entered the Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament at Rotorua International Stadium on 2–3 June 2001. The seven-player event used an open preliminary stage followed by separate First and Second Division finals.[2]

The team recorded 400 preliminary points and advanced to the Second Division final. It finished third with 135 final-round points, behind Team Damage on 220 and Damn Natives on 210, and ahead of Havoc on 20.[2]

The tournament report identifies the Full Boar captain only as Robert. A former participant has identified him as Rob Blitz. Full Boar also received the event's award for the highest-scoring newcomer.[2]

The October 2001 Valhalla seven-player standings placed Full Boar fifteenth with 73.6 points. Its ranking contributions consisted of 28.6 from the RotoVegas preliminary round and 45 from the Second Division final.[6]

A contemporary team-contact discussion from November 2001 lists Rob Blitz as the contact for Full Boar.[7] Together with the participant identification, this establishes Blitz as the captain named as Robert in the tournament report.

2003 Rotorua tournament

The team returned to Rotorua for the October 2003 tournament, where its name was printed as Full Bore. A former participant has confirmed that this was the same team. Eighteen teams competed in two seeded pools before advancing to Cup and Plate stages.[3]

Full Bore scored 248 points in Pool B. It subsequently lost to Damage in a Plate qualification game. The source does not provide a complete final placing for Full Boar.[3]

2008 revival

A former participant has confirmed that Full Boar competed again in 2008 as a continuation or revival of the earlier team. A contemporary tournament result identifying the 2008 event has not yet been recovered, so no event, placing or roster is assigned here.

Documented personnel

Published name Documented role Context
Rob Blitz Captain and team contact Identified as “Robert” in the 2001 Volcanic report and as Rob Blitz in the November 2001 contact discussion.[2][7]

Recorded tournament results

Year Published spelling Competition Classification Recorded result Points Source
2000 Fullboar Wellington Cup Open final Finalist; exact placing not established Not supplied [1][4]
2001 Full Boar Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament Preliminary round Advanced to Second Division final 400 [2]
2001 Full Boar Volcanic Rotorua Paintball Tournament Second Division final 3rd 135 [2]
2003 Full Bore Rotorua tournament Pool B / Plate qualification 248 pool points; defeated by Damage in Plate qualifier 248 [3]

Preliminary and final-round scores are kept separate. No exact placing is assigned where the original report supplies only participation, pool results or finalist status.

National rankings

Season Format Position Ranking total
2000 Combined Equal 12th 66.5
2001 Seven-player 15th 73.6

The rankings were calculated by Valhalla and are distinct from raw tournament scores and individual event placings.[5][6][8]
