-== Relationship with other Waxers teams ==
+Sources: tournament records and contemporary reports.[1][2][3][4]
-Sarawak tournament records contain several separately entered teams using the ''Waxers'' name. These include Beezwaxers or Beez Waxers, Junior Waxers, Hornet Waxers, Cranky Waxers, Ibra Waxers, GPP Waxers and Bossku Waxers.[4][11][12]
-At the 2011 Sarawak Chief Minister's Cup, Beez Waxers competed in the Open Division, Waxers Legion in the Amateur/Novice division and Hornet Waxers in the Rookie division.[4] Their simultaneous entry in different divisions demonstrates that the names represented distinct tournament entries at that event.
-The available sources suggest a wider Sarawak Waxers identity but do not establish its ownership, organisational structure or roster-development system. Results belonging to the other Waxers entries are therefore not included in Waxers Legion's record.
