Gaps and distinctions
[edit]Preliminary and final positions
[edit]Sykaryos led the Division 3 preliminary stage, and Mini Towers led Division 4. Both finished second after their respective finals.[2][3] Preliminary rankings are therefore distinguished from the published final placings.
Division 3 team name
[edit]The event placings and preliminary scores identify the eighth Division 3 entry as TOWERS.[2][3] The 2024 season table instead attributes the Eclipse eighth-place result and ten points to Sykass.[4] The event name is retained here; the recovered records do not establish whether the difference reflects a name change, reassignment or record error.
The tournament results do not independently establish season champions or fulfilment of World Cup entry and travel prizes.
