Latest revision as of 09:26, 2 November 2026

The 2006 Paintball World Cup Asia was the inaugural Paintball World Cup Asia tournament, held from 8 to 10 December 2006 at Xtion Paintball Park in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It formed part of the Paintball Asia League Series (PALS) and attracted approximately ninety teams.[1][3]

Iran's Datis won Division 1 and was also reported as the overall PALS champion. Other divisional winners were Gold, Banzai and Global Gutz Pinay.[1][3]

Background

World Cup Asia followed earlier international competitions organised in Malaysia, including 2004 Nation Cup and the Asia Pacific Paintball Championship 2005. The organisers subsequently identified these events and World Cup Asia 2006 as successive stages in their development of international tournament paintball.[2]

Organisation and participation

A contemporary report identified Xtion Paintball as the organiser, working in collaboration with Malaysia's Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Information and Ministry of Tourism. It also named PALS, the Millennium Series, Paintball Sports Promotions and the United Paintball Federation as associated organisations.[1]

Results

The following results were reported by The Star on 14 December 2006.[3]

Division	First	Second	Third
Division 1	Datis (Iran)	Infernal (Thailand)
Division 2	Gold (South Africa)	Global Gutz Pinay 2 (Philippines)
Division 3	Banzai (Malaysia)	Outrecs (Malaysia)
Ladies	Global Gutz Pinay (Philippines)	Sogo Ball Busters (Malaysia)	Venus (Malaysia)

Finals

The contemporary report described the following game sequences. It did not publish numerical points totals.[3]

Division	Game 1	Game 2	Game 3	Outcome
Division 1	Draw	Datis won	Infernal won	Datis won on points
Division 2	Gold won	Gold won		Gold won the opening two games
Division 3	Outrecs won	Banzai won	Banzai won	Banzai won two games to one
Ladies	Draw	Sogo Ball Busters won	Global Gutz Pinay won	Global Gutz Pinay won on points

Outrecs represented Multimedia University. In the ladies' semi-final, Global Gutz Pinay defeated Venus, who subsequently won the third-place play-off.[3]

Datis's World Cup Asia victory was distinct from its overall PALS series title, both of which were recorded in contemporary coverage.[1][3]

Demonstration game

Following the finals, visiting players from San Diego Dynasty and Ironmen participated in a demonstration game with local players. The report named Alex Fraige, Brian Cole, Todd Martinez, Ryan Greenspan and Oliver Lang among those involved.[3]
