Vikings (New Zealand Paintball Team)
Vikings was a New Zealand tournament paintball team documented at the first New Zealand Paintball Players League event of 2012. A contemporary participant report placed the team sixth among sixteen entries.[1][2]
The team should not be confused with unrelated overseas paintball teams using the Vikings name.
History
[edit]Vikings competed at the 2012 NZPPL Auckland Event 1, held at Lock N Load Paintball, 46 Nixon Road near Auckland Airport, on 7–8 April 2012. The tournament was promoted as an NZPPL Super 5 Man event.[1]
Following the tournament, a participant published a sixteen-team finishing order which placed Vikings sixth, behind ADHD, DU, Arachnidz, Hybrid and Aces High, and immediately ahead of Ninja Apocolypse.[2]
The contributor introduced the list with the qualification “If I am not mistaken”, and the surviving discussion does not include an official score sheet. Sixth place should therefore be treated as the contemporary reported result rather than a separately verified official placing.[2]
The available sources do not identify Vikings' players, captain, home region, founding date or any relationship with overseas teams using the same name.
