2012 Malaysian National Paintball League
The 2012 Malaysian National Paintball League was a season of the Malaysian National Paintball League (MY-NPL), with documented events in Petaling Jaya and Malacca. Surviving event listings identify competitions in February, May and October.[1][2][3]
DRX won the highest competition category at the first two documented events. Beezwaxers won that category at the October event.[4][5][6]
A separate PBLeagues world-ranking record credits Dark Knights with results at four numbered MY-NPL events, indicating a discrepancy between the surviving records.[9]

Competition classifications
Contemporary coverage described the introduction of RaceTo competition during the season.[4]
Division numbering differs between the surviving sources. For the February and May events, Villain Paintball labelled the four categories Divisions 1–4, while PBLeagues labelled the corresponding categories Divisions 2–5. The results below retain both classifications.[4][5][7][8]
The first-round PBLeagues listing specified RaceTo-5 for its highest category, labelled Division 2.[1]
