=== Differences from the season standings ===
The contemporary report records Apex 1's 30-point result in novice. The later season standings instead contain a 24-point first-round amateur entry for Apex, marked as points retained at 80 per cent after moving up from novice. The retained entry is not presented here as an additional amateur result.[1][2]

Similarly, the contemporary report records Marauders with 18 semi-professional points. The later amateur standings contain a 14-point first-round entry for Marauders, marked as retained points following a move down from semi-professional.[1][2]

The later semi-professional standings list the 28-point first-round entry as ACT Razorbacks, whereas the contemporary opening-round report names Thunderbirds. The table above preserves the contemporary name without assuming an explanation for the difference.[1][2]
