Created article on Hamilton 3s, documenting its 2008 activity, planned 2009 competition, tournament organisation and complete results for the opening round on 22 February 2009, including SCK Factory's victory.
 
Refocus as 2009 Hamilton 3s, retaining brief 2008 background and verified opening-round placings. Link SCK Factory, distinguish announced later events from confirmed results, avoid conflating the 2005 series and correct the category.
