Created article on the 2012 NZPPL Super 5 Man Series using recovered official league archives. Documented the October Event 3 schedule, NZ$600 entry fee, 24 registered team names, a retrospectively reported Round 1 winner and the surviving 2011–2012 tournament records. Distinguished registrations from confirmed participation.
 
Add contemporary reported opening-round placings and confirmed Auckland event details; preserve October registrations as registrations, remove unrelated history and repetitive commentary, and use the correct tournament category.

A later tournament report credits '''ADHD''' with winning the opening NZPPL round of 2012.[3] The surviving records do not establish the complete season results or overall championship winner.
The opening event was held over Easter weekend at Lock N Load Paintball, 46 Nixon Road, near Auckland Airport. The announced programme provided for field inspection, registration and a captains’ meeting on 6 April, followed by tournament play on 7–8 April.[1]
