2008 Sultan of Kedah Cup
The 2008 Sultan of Kedah Cup was a paintball tournament held on 19 and 20 July 2008 at The Carnivall in Sungai Petani, Kedah, Malaysia. It was organised by the State of Kedah, PALS Events and Kedah Paintball Association in conjunction with the Sultan of Kedah's Golden Jubilee celebrations.[1][2]
Raskal won the Open Division ahead of Xmenz and Demonz Red. The Amateur/Novice winner was recorded as Iron C in the contemporary Villain Paintball report and Iron Sea in a separate forum results listing.[2][3]
Organisation
[edit]The tournament advertised RM45,000 in prize money across Open, Amateur/Novice and Kedah Closed categories.[1]
Cinta Sayang Golf and Country Resort was named as the official hotel. A participant's post-event account reported that registration included three nights' accommodation, breakfast and waterpark admission.[1][2]

[edit]The published programme specified the following categories:[1]
