Editing 2007 Australian X-Ball League

'''2007 Australian X-Ball League''' was a season of the [[Australian X-Ball League]] paintball competition. Contemporary advertising scheduled the opening round at Karangi, New South Wales, while Australian forum records document a subsequent event in Western Australia. Reports of the Western Australian event identify X-Fighter$ Red as the leading-division winner and Southern Storm as the amateur winner.[1][2][3]

== Events ==
=== Round 1 ===
An advertisement in ''[[Australian Paintball Magazine]]'' scheduled [[2007 Australian X-Ball League Round 1|Round 1]] for 3–4 March 2007 at Extreme Skirmish in Karangi, near Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.[1]

The advertisement documents the planned event. Its completion and results have not yet been verified from the recovered sources.

=== Perth event ===
The archived Bill's Paintball tournament index lists discussions titled “Axl Round 2 – Perth”, “R2 AXL Perth”, “The Official AXL Rd 2 Thread” and “AXL Rd 2 Field Layout” within its 2007 tournament sequence.[2]

A surviving results discussion, captured in May 2007, confirms that an AXL event took place in Western Australia. Participants reported six teams in the leading division and two amateur teams.[3]

The exact playing dates and named field have not yet been verified from the recovered material.
