Editing 2019 NXL Australia

'''2019 NXL Australia''' was a season of [[NXL Australia]] tournament paintball. The documented PBLeagues calendar comprised four Victorian rounds, four New South Wales rounds and a national finals event. Competition is recorded at all nine events, although some surviving match records are incomplete.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]

[[Ballistics Unit (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Ballistics Unit]] won Division 1 at the national finals, while SEC Grey won Division 2. Separately, PBLeagues' published cumulative season rankings placed [[Hustle (Australian Paintball Team)|Hustle]] first in Division 1 and [[Bomb Voyage (Australian Paintball Team)|Bomb Voyage]] first in Division 2.[2][11]

Division 2 was advertised for the NSW events, but their retrieved records contain no Division 2 competition results.[4][6][8][9]

=== Division 3 ===
The published Division 3 results identify competition at Victoria Round 4.[2][10]

The surviving match record for that division is incomplete. The table reproduces the published placings rather than establishing that every scheduled fixture was played.[10]

== National finals ==
The [[2019 NXL Australia Finals]] took place on 12–13 October at Paintball Games Coldstream. Twelve teams appear in the final results: seven in Division 1 and five in Division 2.[2][11]

Ballistics Unit defeated Sydney Explicit 2–1 in the Division 1 final. Hustle beat SEC Black 5–2 to finish third. In Division 2, SEC Grey defeated Bomb Voyage 3–2, while CBR Mafia beat Sydney 187 3–2 in the third-place match. All four medal matches are recorded on 13 October.[11]

== Published season rankings ==
PBLeagues' cumulative season rankings are separate from the national finals results. The leading three entries in each published division were:[2]

{| class="wikitable"
! Division !! Rank !! Team !! Published points
|-
| rowspan="3" | Division 1
| 1 || [[Hustle (Australian Paintball Team)|Hustle]] || 425
|-
| 2 || [[South East Cartel (Australian Paintball Team)|South East Cartel]] || 392
|-
| 3 || SEC Black || 329
|-
| rowspan="3" | Division 2
| 1 || [[Bomb Voyage (Australian Paintball Team)|Bomb Voyage]] || 381.07
|-
| 2 || [[CBR Mafia (Australian Paintball Team)|CBR Mafia]] || 360.18
|-
| 3 || [[Order 66 (Australian Paintball Team)|Order 66]] || 294.29
|-
| rowspan="3" | Division 3
| 1 || [[Electric Boogaloo (Australian Paintball Team)|Electric Boogaloo]] || 100
|-
| 2 || [[Mini Dynamite (Australian Paintball Team)|Mini dynamite]] || 55
|-
| 3 || [[StormTroopers (Australian Paintball Team)|StormTroopers]] || 10
|}

The Division 1 season table includes the four Victorian rounds, NSW Round 2 and the national finals, but omits NSW Rounds 1, 3 and 4. The Division 2 table includes the Victorian rounds and national finals. Division 3 contains only Victoria Round 4. These totals are reproduced as published and have not been recalculated to add missing events.[2]

== Record limitations ==
Several event records distinguish scheduled fixtures from scored matches. NSW Round 1 has scored preliminary games but no verified knockout results. NSW Round 3 has a recorded nVs semi-final win and a participant-confirmed third place for GC Blade, but no verified championship result.[4][8][12]

At NSW Round 4, Plan B's report establishes second place behind Sydney Explicit. The numbered entrant list does not provide a final classification, and the remaining final placings are unverified.[9][13]

Forfeit entries, including Apparition's preliminary fixtures at Victoria Round 1, are not treated as evidence that those matches were played.[3]
