2008 Australian X-Ball League
2008 Australian X-Ball League was a three-round season of the Australian X-Ball League, with events at Canning Vale in Western Australia and Camden in New South Wales. Xtreme finished first in the published Division 1 season standings with 285 points, while Rage City finished first in Division 2 with 290 points.[1][2]
Events
[edit]The organiser published a three-event calendar. Its final results identify the locations of all three rounds.[1][2]
| Round | Published dates | Location | Division 1 winner | Division 2 winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 29–30 April 2008, uncorroborated calendar dates | Canning Vale, Western Australia | WASP Blue | Blitzkrieg |
| Round 2 | 28–29 June 2008 | Camden, New South Wales | Xtreme | Rage City |
| Round 3 | 20–21 September 2008 | Camden, New South Wales | Xtreme | Rage City |
The archived calendar prints “April 29–30” for Round 1. Those dates have not been independently corroborated. The accompanying report and published standings confirm that the event took place.[1][2][3]
Round 3's venue was initially listed as undetermined. The subsequent event results identify Camden and retain the published dates of 20–21 September.[1][2]

Published season points
[edit]Teams appear in the order used by the organiser's final table. The figures are series standings points, rather than individual match scores.[1]
| Team | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Published total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Xtreme | 85 | 100 | 100 | 285 |
| WASP Gold | 90 | 85 | 90 | 265 |
| WASP Blue | 100 | 80 | 85 | 265 |
| XF Destruction | 70 | 90 | 80 | 240 |
| Carnivore Legends | 60 | 65 | 70 | 195 |
| XF Dedication | 65 | 55 | 60 | 180 |
| Blade | — | 70 | 65 | 135 |

| WASP Black | 55 | — | — | 55 |
| Kronik | — | 50 | — | 50 |
Discrepancies in the published records
[edit]The Round 3 results and placing annotations consistently identify XF Destruction as third and WASP Blue as fourth. However, the points table assigns XF Destruction 80 points and WASP Blue 85 points for that round. The table above preserves the published figures and totals without treating them as corrections to the recorded placings.[1]
WASP Gold and WASP Blue both have published season totals of 265 points. The organiser lists Gold above Blue, but the recovered page does not explain a tie-break.[1]
An earlier ladder also listed Carnivore Myth ninth at Round 1 with 50 points, without separating divisions. The final tables omitted that entry from Division 1 and instead recorded Carnivore Myth third in Division 2 with 85 points. The earlier entry is not included in the Division 1 tables above.[1][3]
Division 2
[edit]Round placings
[edit]| Place | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Blitzkrieg | Rage City | Rage City |
| 2 | Rage City | Uprising | Uprising |
| 3 | Carnivore Myth | Blitzkrieg | Carnivore Myth |
| 4 | — | Blitz Grenadiers | Blitzkrieg |
These placings follow the organiser's final Division 2 standings. The Round 3 event results also confirm that round's four placings.[1]
Season points
[edit]| Team | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Published total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rage City | 90 | 100 | 100 | 290 |
| Blitzkrieg | 100 | 85 | 80 | 265 |
| Uprising | — | 90 | 90 | 180 |
| Carnivore Myth | 85 | — | 85 | 170 |
| Blitz Grenadiers | — | 80 | — | 80 |
The figures are series standings points. A dash indicates that the source gives no points for that round; it does not establish whether a team entered or withdrew.[1]
