The league's archived calendar advertised Division 1 and Division 2 competition at WASP Paintball, with team entry fees of $650 and $550 respectively. Its date field contained only the letter “M”.[3]

Contemporary photography explicitly dated 20 March 2022 identifies Nomads as the Division 2 winning team. WASP subsequently published an opening-round report describing competition between new and returning players and sharing photographs from the event.[1][2]

The photographer's caption described the victory as coming at Nomads' first tournament. The team's own contemporary post also reported a first-place finish.[2][4]

A publicly indexed [[STK Australia (Australian Paintball Team)|STK Australia]] post reported starting 2022 with a win and congratulated Nomads on winning Division 2. The available caption does not explicitly identify STK's winning division.[5]

Further placings and match scores have not been verified.
