2020 Australian Super 7s: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 07:21, 2 November 2026

2020 Australian Super 7s was the 2020 season of the Australian Super 7s paintball tournament series. Four rounds were advertised for Professional, Semi-Professional, Amateur and Novice teams at Action Paintball Games in Rouse Hill, New South Wales.[1][4]

The opening HK Army Classic is documented by results for all four divisions. The May DLX Technologies Cup was cancelled because of COVID-19 travel restrictions and uncertainty over restrictions on sporting events. Completion of the advertised Planet Eclipse Open and Australian Masters remains unconfirmed in the cited records.[2][3]

Calendar and event status

The following dates reproduce the organiser's advertised schedule. Dates for cancelled or unconfirmed events are not presented as completed playing dates.[1]

Round	Event	Professional	Semi-Professional	Amateur	Novice	Documented status
Round 1	HK Army Classic	14–16 February 2020	15–16 February 2020	8 February 2020	9 February 2020	Completed: results recorded for all four divisions
Round 2	DLX Technologies Cup	15–17 May 2020	16–17 May 2020	9 May 2020	10 May 2020	Cancelled; no completed replacement verified
Round 3	Planet Eclipse Open	7–9 August 2020	8–9 August 2020	1 August 2020	2 August 2020	Scheduled; completion unconfirmed
Round 4	Paintballshop.com Australian Masters	27–29 November 2020	28–29 November 2020	21 November 2020	22 November 2020	Scheduled; completion unconfirmed

COVID-19 disruption

In an announcement headed “2020 Super 7s DLX Technologies Cup Cancelled”, promoter Michael Whybrew cancelled the May event. He cited Australia's two-week quarantine requirement for international arrivals, uncertainty about restrictions on sporting events and outdoor gatherings, and the possibility of domestic flight cancellations.[3]

The announcement specifically identified the difficulty facing New Zealand teams Expendables, Rebel Unit and Immortal Knights. The organiser stated that the travel arrangements described would make their participation effectively impossible and that missing a round would compromise their championship opportunities.[3]

The decision was also intended to prevent competitors from booking travel and accommodation for an event that might subsequently be unable to proceed. Possible limits on venue attendance were discussed as a further risk, rather than reported as confirmed tournament attendance limits.[3]

Rescheduling the DLX Technologies Cup between Round 3 and the Masters was considered, but no replacement date was confirmed. The organiser also stated that the remaining events were uncertain, pending further government decisions.[3]

The notice does not explicitly cancel Round 3 or Round 4. No quantified reduction in attendance at the completed opening round is established by the cited records.

Round summaries

Round 1 — HK Army Classic

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 1

The archived official results record points for all four divisions. Eskimo Bros recorded the highest Professional points, Eskimo Brothers led Semi-Professional, Bushpigs led Amateur and KDK led Novice.[2]

The full recorded point allocations appear below.

Round 2 — DLX Technologies Cup

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 2

The organiser explicitly cancelled the May event because of COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty. Although rescheduling was discussed, neither a replacement date nor completed replacement results is established by the cited records.[2][3]

Round 3 — Planet Eclipse Open

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 3

The August dates remained on the published calendar, but the archived results contain no Planet Eclipse Open points in any division.[1][2]

The cancellation announcement described uncertainty over the remaining events without explicitly cancelling Round 3. Its completion therefore remains unconfirmed; blank results alone do not establish cancellation.[2][3]

Round 4 — Australian Masters

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 4

The November event remained advertised, but the archived results contain no Masters points in any division.[1][2]

The announcement cancelling the DLX Technologies Cup was still displayed on the homepage captured on 6 December 2020. That notice concerned the May event and does not establish a specific cancellation of the Masters.[3]

No completed Masters results are confirmed by the cited records.

Verified results

The archived 2020 results contain numeric points only for the HK Army Classic. The DLX Cup, Planet Eclipse Open and Masters columns are blank, and each published annual total equals its opening-round figure.[2]

The following tables therefore reproduce Round 1 ranking points only. They are not individual match scores or evidence that formal season championships were awarded.[2]

Professional

Team	HK Army Classic points
Eskimo Bros	30
Eskimo Nation	28
Sydney SWAT	26
Perth Crisis	24
Expendables	20*
East Side Raw	20
Marauders	18
Rebel Unit	16
Syndicate	14
The Mungers	12

Expendables' figure includes a two-point deduction for fielding two United States Professional players. Its 20 points do not independently establish an equal placing with East Side Raw.[2]

Semi-Professional

Team	HK Army Classic points
Eskimo Brothers	30
SA Havoc	28
Spice Bears	26
Immortal Knights	24
T.O.G.	22
Eskimo Nation	20
Eskimo Blizzard	18
Wicked Assassins	16
Furious	14

Amateur

Team	HK Army Classic points
Bushpigs	30

Eskimo Polar Express	26
Aspire	24
Eskimo Penguin Squad	22

Make it Rain Eskimo	16
Eskimo Sisters	14
Wicked Assassins	12

Novice

Team	HK Army Classic points
KDK	30
Letter E	28
