Editing 2019 NXL Australia NSW Round 3

'''2019 NXL Australia NSW Round 3''' was a [[NXL Australia]] paintball tournament held on 23 June 2019 at [[Ultimate Paintball]] in Cawdor, near Camden, New South Wales, Australia. Eight teams competed in Division 1. A contemporary participant report confirms that GC Blade finished third, while the surviving league record does not identify the championship winner.[1][2][3][4]

== Date and venue ==
The event listing advertised Sunday, 23 June 2019 at Ultimate Paintball Camden, at Remembrance Driveway and Cawdor Road, Cawdor. Recorded match scores and GC Blade's dated photographic record corroborate competition on that date.[1][2][5]

== Competition ==
The eight Division 1 teams were divided into two preliminary brackets.[2][3]

{| class="wikitable"
! Bracket A !! Bracket B
|-
| [[Asylum (Australian Paintball Team)|Asylum]]
| [[Ballistics Unit (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Ballistics Unit]]
|-
| [[East Side Raw (Australian Paintball Team)|East Side Raw]]
| [[nVs (Australian Paintball Team)|nVs]]
|-
| [[GC Blade (Australian Paintball Team)|GC Blade]]
| [[Sydney 187 (Australian Paintball Team)|Sydney 187]]
|-
| [[Spice Bears (Australian Paintball Team)|Spice Bears]]
| [[Sydney Explicit (Australian Paintball Team)|Sydney Explicit]]
|}

GC Blade recorded four preliminary wins, each by 4–0. The other semi-finalists were nVs, Sydney Explicit and Spice Bears.[2][3]

Although Division 2 registration was advertised, the event listing records no entries and the retrieved records contain no Division 2 match results.[1][2][3]

== Knockout results ==
PBLeagues records a 4–0 semi-final victory for nVs over Spice Bears.[2][3]

GC Blade's participant report describes an overtime semi-final against Sydney Explicit, followed by a third-place match against Spice Bears. The team explicitly reports finishing third.[4]

== Confirmed final placing ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Division !! Placing !! Team
|-
| Division 1 || 3 || [[GC Blade (Australian Paintball Team)|GC Blade]]
|}

== Record limitations ==
The league schedule retains unscored entries for the GC Blade–Sydney Explicit semi-final, the consolation match and the championship final. GC Blade's report confirms that its semi-final and third-place match took place, but does not identify the championship winner.[2][3][4]

The surviving records therefore establish competition and a completed third-place match, but do not independently verify completion or the result of the championship final. Preliminary rankings are not treated as final placings.
