2011 New Zealand Paintball Nationals was a paintball tournament organised by the New Zealand Paintball Players League (NZPPL) in Waikanae, on New Zealand's Kāpiti Coast, during Labour Weekend in October 2011. It was the final event of the league's three-round 2011 tournament programme.[1][2]

A contemporary report published in November 2011 recorded 18 teams attending the Nationals, making it one of the larger New Zealand paintball tournaments of that period.[3]

Background

The NZPPL organised three tournament rounds during 2011. The opening event took place in the Levin area in April, followed by a tournament at Lakes Ranch near Rotorua on 4–5 June. The third round was scheduled for Waikanae over Labour Weekend, 22–24 October 2011.[1]

The league's archived media gallery identifies El Rancho in Waikanae in connection with its Labour Weekend 2011 tournament footage.[2]

Tournament

The Nationals was organised as part of the NZPPL's five-player tournament programme. A post published on the international paintball forum PBNation on 6 November 2011 described the event as one of New Zealand's largest paintball competitions in a decade, reporting 18 participating teams.[3]

The NZPPL's subsequent official media archive identified separate Cup and Plate finals from the 2011 competition.[2]

The complete tournament standings and the identities of the Cup and Plate winners have not been established from the available sources.

Media coverage

The tournament was filmed by RisingStarPaintball, which released video coverage in November 2011.

A promotional video was shared on PBNation on 6 November 2011.[3] RisingStarPaintball subsequently published NZPPL - 2011 Nationals Prt1 on 20 November and NZPPL Nationals 2011 pt2 on 21 November.[4][5]

The official NZPPL media gallery also linked to recordings titled NZPPL Cup Finals 2011, NZPPL Plate finals 2011 and NZPPL El Rancho Labour Weekend 2011.[2]
