Editing 2022 Australian Super 7s

'''2022 Australian Super 7s''' was the 2022 season of the [[Australian Super 7s]] paintball tournament series. The organiser published four-round standings for Professional, Semi-Professional and Amateur teams, although separate Semi-Professional events were not held at Rounds 2 and 3 because of insufficient teams.[1]

Eskimo Brothers led the final Professional standings with 114 points, Wicked Assassins led Semi-Professional with 100 and PBG led Amateur with 100.[1]

The organiser attributed the absence of Semi-Professional events at Rounds 2 and 3 to insufficient teams. The cited record does not attribute that shortage to COVID-19.[1]

== Round summaries ==

=== Round 1 ===
''Main article: [[2022 Australian Super 7s Round 1]]''

Eskimo Brothers recorded the highest unadjusted Professional points with 30, followed by RAW with 28 and Sydney SWAT with 26. Riot recorded the highest points remaining in the Amateur table with 30.[1]

The surviving Semi-Professional and Amateur entries are incomplete as original event records because Black Flag Assassins and Bitchin subsequently moved divisions. Their retained championship credits do not establish their original finishing positions.[1]

=== Round 2 ===
''Main article: [[2022 Australian Super 7s Round 2]]''

Sydney SWAT recorded the highest Professional round points with 30, followed by Manawatu Titans with 28 and Marauders with 26.[1]

No separate Semi-Professional event took place. Wicked Assassins and Phoenix nevertheless received Semi-Professional championship contributions for playing in other divisions.[1]

The Amateur table records Riot with 28 points and PBG with 26, but contains no 30-point entry. No missing winner has been reconstructed.[1]

=== Round 3 ===
''Main article: [[2022 Australian Super 7s Round 3]]''

Eskimo Brothers recorded the highest Professional round points with 30, followed by Sydney SWAT with 28 and RAW with 26.[1]

No separate Semi-Professional event took place. The championship table nevertheless records contributions for Wicked Assassins, Phoenix and Bitchin.[1]

The Amateur table records Riot with 26 points and Make it Rain with 24, but contains no 30-point or 28-point entry. These gaps do not establish additional placings or winners.[1]

=== Round 4 ===
''Main article: [[2022 Australian Super 7s Round 4]]''

Separate results are recorded for all three divisions. The leading point allocations were:[1]

{| class="wikitable"
! Division !! Leading Round 4 entries
|-
| Professional || Eskimo Brothers — 30; Sydney SWAT — 28; Marauders — 26
|-
| Semi-Professional || Bitchin — 30; CBR Damage — 28; Wicked Assassins — 26
|-
| Amateur || PBG — 30; Wicked Assassins — 28; Make it Rain — 26
|}

Bitchin led the final-round Semi-Professional points, while Wicked Assassins led that division's season standings.[1]

== Records and source discrepancies ==
The archived March 2023 page explicitly labels these results as 2022. It is used in preference to the later website section labelled 2022 that reproduces tables headed 2019. Those duplicated 2019 figures are not used as 2022 results.[1][2]

The Semi-Professional table contains adjusted contributions from competition elsewhere, while the Amateur table also preserves entries under Wicked Assassins. The published figures are retained without assuming that each entry represents a separate team, reconstructing original scores or combining divisional totals.[1]

The absence of a Semi-Professional event at Rounds 2 and 3 does not mean that the Professional and Amateur rounds were cancelled.[1]
