The 2011–2012 SAPC Five-Man Series was a five-player paintball competition organised by South Auckland Paintball Club at Lock N Load Paintball on Nixon Road near Auckland Airport, New Zealand. Announced in October 2011, it was intended as a monthly social speedball competition for established teams and players entering tournament paintball. Completed events on 13 November and 11 December 2011 are documented in contemporary reports.[1][2][3]

Organisation and format

The series was announced on 9 October 2011 with a provisional calendar extending from November 2011 to December 2012. Events were generally scheduled for the second Sunday of each month, with breaks to avoid major NZPPL tournament weekends. Players without teams were invited to form scratch teams.[1]

The original format was five-player hopperball, limiting each player's paint supply to their loader. Entry was advertised at NZ$20 per player, with field paint supplied by Killa Paint New Zealand and compressed-air fills included. The announcement specified NZPPL rules and rotating refereeing duties among participating teams.[1]

Documented 2011 events

The opening event took place on 13 November. An organiser's report published that evening linked photographs and thanked visiting players, referees and the 300FPS shop crew.[2]

The scoreboard photographed at the following December event preserves November series points for BOP Rage, ADHD, Wipeout, Camo Guys and Academy.[4]

December

Eight teams attended the 11 December event. Wipeout topped the recorded December standings with 592 game points and received 100 series points.[3][4]

The organiser's report congratulated BOP and Wipeout on joint first place. The photographed scoreboard distinguishes December's event standings from the cumulative series totals: BOP Rage and Wipeout were level on 170 series points after the two events.[3][4]
