Revision as of 04:48, 1 November 2026

2020 ECPL Round 3 was a New Zealand tournament paintball event held on 26 July 2020 at Bay of Plenty Paintball Club's field at TECT All Terrain Park, near Tauranga.

The tournament formed the third round of the inaugural East Coast Paintball League (ECPL) season. The Ponies won the event, followed by Expendables and Surge.[1][2]

Tournament

The competition took place on Sunday, 26 July 2020, following the disruption of organised paintball during the COVID-19 lockdown.

Victoria Kate Photography documented the tournament in a photographic album titled "ECPL -- Round Three --", published on 27 July 2020.[1]

The photographer described it as the first tournament they had attended since the lockdown and published the top three finishing teams.

Bay of Plenty Paintball Club subsequently reported that two of its entries finished first and fourth in the competition.[2]

Results

The following placings were published by Victoria Kate Photography on 27 July 2020.[1]

Position	Team
1st	The Ponies
2nd	Expendables
3rd	Surge

Bay of Plenty Paintball Club separately reported that its teams finished first and fourth.[2]

The club's report did not identify the squad names, and the fourth-place entry has not been independently established.

Championship standings

Following the third round, Bay of Plenty Paintball Club reported that two of its entries occupied first and fourth positions in the overall ECPL standings.[2]

The complete championship points table has not been recovered.

The club announced that the next tournament would take place at TECT Park on 22 November 2020. That event was subsequently documented as 2020 ECPL Round 4, the final round of the season.
