Kiwi Extreme 3
Kiwi Extreme 3 was a New Zealand three-player tournament paintball series documented during 2003 and 2004. Archived discussions from the NZ Paintball Message Boards record multiple rounds, including events associated with Wellington, together with results discussions, scheduling information and the cancellation of a planned event on 27 June 2004.[1][2][3][4]
The available records do not establish the series' founding date, complete results, formal organising body or final season.
History
2003 season
The earliest presently identified records of Kiwi Extreme 3 date from 2003.
An archived forum index contains separate discussions for the second and third rounds, both described as Wellington events.[1] The discussions were started by the forum account Dannefaerd.
A later page of the same forum contains a discussion titled Kiwi Extreme 3's Rnd 4, demonstrating that the series reached at least four rounds during 2003.[2]
The surviving index information does not establish the precise dates, venues, participating teams or results of these rounds. Dates displayed beside the discussions represent forum activity rather than confirmed competition dates.
2004 season
Kiwi Extreme 3 returned in 2004.
A forum index archived on 12 June 2004 contained discussions concerning:
- The proposed location of the opening round
- The first round of the 2004 competition
- First-round results
- A second round associated with 23 May
- A third round discussed during June[3]
The first-round results discussion was active by 11 March 2004. The second-round thread identified 23 May in its title, although the index alone does not confirm whether the competition proceeded on that date.
A later forum capture shows continued discussion of the third round and records a separate announcement titled Extreme 3 - June 27th CANCELLED - PLEASE READ.[4] This establishes that a planned Kiwi Extreme 3 event scheduled for 27 June was cancelled. The surviving index does not state the reason for the cancellation or identify the cancelled event's formal round number.

Organisation
The forum account Dannefaerd started the surviving discussions for the second and third rounds in 2003 and several Kiwi Extreme 3 discussions in 2004.[1][3][4]
The same account was listed in the archived forum's administrator configuration.[1] These records demonstrate involvement in communicating information about the series but do not, by themselves, establish a formal organiser title or sole responsibility for the competition.
Historical records
Information about Kiwi Extreme 3 survives through archived index pages from the NZ Paintball Message Forum, which was associated with Paintball.co.nz.
Several individual discussions have not been recovered. Consequently, the surviving evidence is stronger for the series chronology than for its teams, scores and final standings.
