2023 Arena Paintball Easter Race

The 2023 Arena Paintball Easter Race was a five-player paintball tournament held over the Easter weekend of 8–9 April 2023 at Arena Paintball in Feilding, New Zealand. It was the opening round of the 2023 Arena 5 Man Race Series.[1][2]

Tournament format

The organiser's 2023 calendar advertised a five-player race format with a four-point mercy rule, a firing-rate limit of 10.5 balls per second and a hopper-and-four-pod ammunition limit.[1]

Arena Paintball published the event's master schedule on 7 April 2023, announcing a 9 a.m. start for the opening games.[2]

Teams

The published master schedule identified the following seven team entries and a bye.[2]

Team
Ballistics Unit
Crisis Paintball Northland
Defiance
Expendables
Fatality
PB Corp
Rebels

Team-name clarification

The published draw used the name PB Corp. In comments on the organiser's 7 April announcement, a participant identifying himself with that entry requested that the name be changed to Carcharodons. Another commenter disputed the PB Corp name.[2]

The available discussion indicates that the published entry name was contested. It does not establish two separate participating teams.

Event

Crisis Paintball Northland announced its intention to compete in the Easter tournament, identifying Arena Paintball in Feilding as the venue.[3]

The surviving tournament documentation includes the organiser's master schedule and contemporary team announcements.

Results

Complete final tournament placings, including any Cup and Plate results, have not been established from the available records.
