2011 NZPPL Rotorua Tournament was a five-player paintball competition held on 4–5 June 2011 at Lakes Ranch, near Rotorua, New Zealand. It was the second event of the 2011 New Zealand Paintball Players League (NZPPL) programme. Disposal Unit won the tournament, while Phoenix won the Plate in the reported forum standings.[1][2][3][4]
Organisation and format
[edit]The tournament took place over Queen’s Birthday weekend at Lakes Ranch on State Highway 30. The advertised format was a double round robin on an inflatable-bunker field, with teams competing to eliminate opponents and capture a centre flag. Spectator admission was free.[1]
The contemporary newspaper preview described a field approximately 40 by 22 metres and anticipated ten teams. The subsequent results recorded eleven entries, a total also confirmed by the newspaper follow-up.[1][3][4]
The follow-up described an indoor arena. TPC Blast reported difficulty adapting to the visibility and field layout.[4]
Rotorua player Royston Bartholomew represented Tempest and was involved in organising the event. Tempest entered the round sixth in the series standings.[1]
The Rotorua tournament followed the opening round in the Levin area in April. A third event was scheduled for Waikanae over Labour Weekend.[1][2]
Results
[edit]Day one
[edit]The following ranks and totals were published in the contemporary results discussion. They are day-one standings, not final tournament placings.[3]
| Rank | Team as listed | Reported points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arachnids | 884 |
| 2 | Hybrid | 812 |
| 3 | Disposal Unit | 672 |
| 4 | The Expendables | 609 |
| 5 | Adrenalin | 510 |
| 6 | Tempest | 411 |
| 7 | TPC Blast | 397 |
| 8 | Pheonix | 369 |
| 9 | ADHD | 307 |
| 10 | Skillz | 301 |
| 11 | Scarlett | 5 |
The published totals for The Expendables and ADHD differ from the sums of their individual game scores. The table preserves the reported totals. The source uses “Pheonix” and “Skillz” in the day-one table, but “Phoenix” and “Skullz” in the final standings.[3]
Cup
[edit]| Position | Team |
|---|---|
| 1 | Disposal Unit |
| 2 | Hybrid |
| 3 | Arachnids |
| 4 | The Expendables |
| 5 | Adrenalin |
| 6 | Tempest |
Plate
[edit]| Position | Team |
|---|---|
| 1 | Phoenix |
| 2 | TPC Blast |
| 3 | Skullz |
| 4 | ADHD |
| 5 | Scarlett |
The final placings were reported from memory on 6 June 2011. A subsequent reply corrected the third- and fourth-place Plate order to Skullz and ADHD, and the original contributor acknowledged the correction.[3]
The Bay of Plenty Times subsequently confirmed Disposal Unit's victory, Tempest's sixth place overall and TPC Blast's second place in the Plate and eighth overall. However, it reported Scarlett tenth overall, whereas the forum standings place Scarlett fifth in the Plate behind six Cup teams. The tables above retain the forum's reported order; the discrepancy remains unresolved.[3][4]
