Sarawak Cup
Sarawak Cup was a Malaysian tournament paintball competition first held on 9 and 10 January 2010 in Kuching, Sarawak. The inaugural tournament comprised two five-player divisions and one three-player division. Raskal, SSC Killers and Pitbull won the respective divisions.[1][2]
The Sarawak Cup was separate from the Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup, another tournament held in Kuching during 2010.[3]
2010 tournament
[edit]The inaugural Sarawak Cup was held at the BPP Stadium Paintball Field, situated at the football fields adjoining the new Sarawak State Stadium in Kuching.[1] Contemporary publicity described it as the first Sarawak Cup and identified Skirmish Paintball Asia and Borneo Paintball Proshop as its principal sponsors.[1]
The competition used two speedball fields and was divided into three categories:
- Division A was a five-player open division with ramping limited to 15 balls per second.
- Division B was a five-player division which restricted each team to one Division 1 player from the Malaysian Paintball Official Circuit or Malaysian National Paintball League.
- Division C was a three-player competition using supplied semi-automatic markers. Each team was permitted no more than one Division 2 player from those national circuits, while Division 3 players were eligible.[1]
The organisers' pre-tournament list contained six Division A teams, fourteen Division B teams and eight Division C teams.[1]

Proposed 2011 tournament
[edit]Entry to a proposed 2011 Sarawak Cup was offered as part of the prize package at the inaugural Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup in October 2010.[3] Villain Paintball subsequently advertised a Sarawak Cup tournament for 19 and 20 March 2011.[5] No reliable record confirming that this edition took place, or documenting its results, has been identified.
