2002 Wellington Cup
2002 Wellington Cup was a five-player paintball tournament held at Thunderball Adventure Games in the Wellington region of New Zealand. Six teams competed, with Misfits winning on 488 points, eight ahead of House Steiner.[1]
Format
[edit]The tournament used a centre-flag format. Seven teams were originally expected, but Rush did not attend, leaving six teams to compete.[1]
Results
[edit]The contemporary report published the following scores.[1]
| Position | Team | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Misfits | 488 |
| 2 | House Steiner | 480 |
| 3 | Phantom | 388 |
| 4 | Damage | 312 |
| 5 | Phoenix | 308 |

Rush was listed with zero points but did not participate.[1]
Scoring dispute
[edit]Peter Hamilton's report described a dispute over chronograph penalties that could have changed the leading two teams' positions. According to the report, these penalties had not been recorded throughout the day, so penalties raised against Misfits after its last game were not applied in isolation. The published result remained Misfits first and House Steiner second.[1]
