2009–2010 Aces High Race to 3 Series
The 2009–2010 Aces High Race to 3 Series was a paintball competition hosted by Aces High Paintball in Palmerston North, New Zealand. The competition used a limited-paint format in which teams played to three points. Contemporary organiser reports confirm that the first series was completed and a second series followed in 2010.[1][2]
Format
[edit]The original announcement specified five players and one coach per team, with only the designated coach permitted to coach during games. Players were limited to a hopper and one pod, and field paint was compulsory. Participating teams were to provide referees on rotation under a head referee.[1]
First series
[edit]The series was announced on 21 August 2009, with four rounds scheduled between November 2009 and February 2010.[1]
| Round | Advertised date |
|---|---|
| 1 | 8 November 2009 |
| 2 | 6 December 2009 |
| 3 | 24 January 2010 |
| 4 | 21 February 2010 |
These dates were the announced schedule. A subsequent organiser report confirmed that the first series had been completed, without supplying individual round results.[2]
Second series
[edit]A second series ran in 2010. A contemporary Flickr collection titled Paintball - 2010 Race 2 3 - Series 2 - Round 3 documents its third round. A photograph in the collection was uploaded on 9 May 2010 and credits Kerry White and Nick Gee for the photographs.[3][4]
The organiser advertised 30 May 2010 as the date of the second series' final round.[2]
