Tournament history
1995 Bushmasters Series
Bull Joes competed in the third round of the five-player Bushmasters Series at Brayton Paintball on 22 January 1995.[3]
Eight teams entered. The contemporary report stated that chronograph penalties affected Bull Joes' performance, and the team did not qualify for the four-team finals.[3]
1995 Rebel Tour
Bulljoes competed in the seven-player Rebel Tour at Skirmish Adventures in Helensburgh on 2–3 December 1995. The team qualified for the four-team amateur finals with 285 preliminary points.[1]
Its concluding game against Bad Company became decisive in the amateur championship. Bad Company initially appeared to have won, before a chronograph penalty temporarily placed Bulljoes ahead. A subsequent penalty against Bulljoes restored Bad Company's victory.[1]
The contemporary report does not provide Bulljoes' final tournament placing.[1]
National ranking
Bull Joes placed fourth in Australian Paintballer's national amateur rankings for the 1995 season, receiving 58.50 ranking points. The rankings identified the team as being from New South Wales.[2]
