== Scheduling ==
The league's calendar, archived on 2 March 2022, advertised Round 4 for 11 September at Paintball Games Coldstream. It listed Division 1 and Division 2, with team entry fees of $450 for each division.[1]

A publicly indexed RAW Paintball announcement subsequently stated that the event had been changed to 18 September because of a clash with the AFL Grand Final weekend.[2]

''Paint Magazine's'' eyewitness account instead dates the completed round to 16 September 2022. The discrepancy between that account and the advertised dates remains unresolved.[3]

== Competition ==
''Paint Magazine'' reported a small turnout of four teams and wet, chilly playing conditions, with the snake becoming muddy during the afternoon. The account identifies Illicit as a Division 2 participant.[3]

The report confirms that competition took place, but does not supply final placings or match scores. Completion of the advertised Division 1 competition has not been independently verified.
