Add Hamilton 3s and Palmerston North Queen's Birthday victories, preserve the 2010 Easter win and dated player information, and retain the distinction from the unconfirmed Australian SCK entry.)

SCK Factory, also known as SCK, was a tournament paintball team documented competing in New Zealand by February 2009. The team won the opening round of the 2009 Hamilton 3s, Division 1 at the 2009 Queen's Birthday Tournament in Palmerston North, and the 2010 Easter 5s in Christchurch.[1][2][5][6]

Tournament history

2009 Hamilton 3s

SCK Factory won the opening round of the 2009 Hamilton 3s on 22 February 2009. Six teams competed, with CL Mafia finishing second and The NGN third.[5]

This documents the team's activity by February 2009, rather than establishing its founding date.

2009 Queen's Birthday Tournament

SCK Factory won Division 1 at the 2009 Queen's Birthday Tournament, held on 30–31 May at Aces High Paintball in Palmerston North. AssassinZ finished second and Dragon third. The organisers published the final placings on 5 June 2009.[6]

2010 Easter 5s

SCK Factory competed at the 2010 Easter 5s tournament in Christchurch during Easter weekend in April 2010. The event was hosted by Urban Paintball.[1][2]

A contemporary tournament video titled Easter 5s [Slow-mo] – New Zealand Paintball identifies SCK Factory as the winning team.[1]

Matt Wong's Flickr album, Paintball – Easter 2010 – Christchurch, independently records that he played for SCK and that the team finished first.[2]

The album contains 52 photographs, including images uploaded on 7 April 2010. Several photographs credit a photographer identified as Simo.[2][3]

Players

2010

Matt Wong, also known as Stick, played for SCK at the 2010 Easter 5s tournament.[2] His participation at that event does not establish membership of the team's 2009 tournament squads.

Other tournament records

A team recorded as SCK also appears in historical rankings published by the Australian Super 7s Paintball Series. The available evidence does not establish whether that entry represents the same organisation as the New Zealand SCK Factory team.[4]
