Trauma (New Zealand Paintball Team): Difference between revisions

From WikiPaintball
Moved the article to Trauma (New Zealand Paintball Team) to match the standard team-title format. Retained its verified 2014 NZPPL runner-up result and International Pacific Championship victory, simplified the PBLeagues roster into a single documented-player table, and removed check-in statuses because they do not add useful team-history information. Clarified that the registered roster does not establish participation in individual matches.
