'''Australian Super 7s''', also known as the '''Super 7s Paintball Series''', is an Australian tournament [[paintball]] championship held in New South Wales. The multi-round series is organised in association with [[Action Paintball Games]] and has hosted professional, semi-professional and amateur teams from Australia and overseas.[1][2]
The '''Australian Super 7s''', also known as the '''Super 7s Paintball Series''' or '''S7S''', is an Australian tournament [[paintball]] championship. The present series was launched in 2006 and is associated with [[Action Paintball Games]]. It has included professional, semi-professional and amateur divisions and has attracted teams and players from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and Canada.[1][2]


The competition has operated since at least 2007, with historical results documenting earlier championships at Rouse Hill, Sydney. It is currently held at Action Paintball Games in Yarramundi, New South Wales.[2][3]
An earlier Australian competition using the '''Super Sevens Series''' name was announced in 1996. Available records do not establish continuous organisation between the 1996 competition and the series launched in 2006.[3]
 
The current championship is held at Action Paintball Games in Yarramundi, New South Wales.[1]

== History ==


=== Early competition ===
=== 1996 Super Sevens Series ===


The precise founding date of the Australian Super 7s has not been independently established. The earliest season preserved in the series' official online results is 2007.[2]
An early Super Sevens Series was announced by Tim McCarthy of Paintball Australia in 1996. McCarthy proposed a seven-player, bring-your-own-paint competition as a more affordable alternative to contemporary ten-player tournaments.[3]


The 2007 championship included professional, semi-professional and amateur divisions, with four rounds contributing to the season rankings.
The format was intended to make it easier for teams to recruit travelling squads, reduce the cost of tournament paint and encourage competition outside Sydney. The series used professional and amateur rankings and assigned experienced teams to referee its events.[3]


[[Menace]] finished first in the professional standings with 184 points, narrowly ahead of [[Sydney SWAT]] on 182 points. Platinum led the semi-professional standings, while The Business finished first in the amateur rankings.[2]
Two rounds were announced for 1996:


The championship continued through the late 2000s, with participating teams including Sydney SWAT, Menace, Hostile Intentions, East Coast Raiderz and Sydney X-Fighters.[2]

=== Development during the 2010s ===
A proposed four-round 1997 calendar included events at Mount White in New South Wales, a South Australian venue, the Gold Coast in Queensland and Helensburgh in New South Wales.[3] The surviving announcement records the intended calendar rather than confirming that all four rounds took place.


By 2012, the Australian Super 7s was operating a four-round championship at [[Action Paintball Games]] in Rouse Hill, New South Wales.
=== Launch of the modern series ===


The [[PBLeagues]] tournament records document events held on 11–12 February, 19–20 May, 11–12 August and 23–25 November 2012.
The present Australian Super 7s championship was launched in 2006 as a four-round national tournament series.[4] Contemporary coverage described the 2006 season as the first Australian Super 7s Series, indicating that it was presented as a new competition despite the earlier use of the Super Sevens name.[4]


The competition used X-Ball formats across multiple divisions, including three-player competition in the lower divisions.[3][4]
The inaugural championship used three divisions:


The final round was marketed as the Australian Masters.
* '''Professional'''
* '''Semi-professional'''
* '''Division 1'''


In 2014, the championship continued with four events, culminating in the Masters tournament on 21–23 November.
The series travelled between states and concluded with a final round hosted by Action Paintball Games. The championship offered a professional series prize of A$10,000, seven gold championship rings and paint, in addition to prizes awarded at individual rounds.[4]


Contemporary records from Sydney SWAT identify the four rounds as taking place in February, May, August and November.[5]
=== 2006 season ===


=== International participation ===
The principal professional contest during the inaugural season developed between [[Sydney SWAT]] and New Zealand team [[Menace]]. SWAT won the opening round, with Menace finishing second. Menace then won Round 2, an achievement described by ''Australian Paintball Magazine'' as the first victory by a New Zealand team at a major Australian tournament.[4]


The Australian Super 7s has attracted players and teams from outside Australia.
SWAT defeated Menace in the Queensland round, leaving the two teams tied on series points before the final event. The series championship was consequently decided by whichever team placed higher in Round 4.[4]


A 2015 tournament report by Sydney Explicit player Aaron McAulay documented the participation of New Zealand player Josh Bailey and American professional [[Marcello Margott]].
The professional preliminary standings at the final round were:


The report also identified [[Justin Cornell]] of [[Edmonton Impact]] as a guest player with Sydney SWAT.[6]

=== Yarramundi venue ===
The final Round 4 placings were:


The series subsequently moved to the Yarramundi venue operated by Action Paintball Games at 770 Springwood Road, New South Wales.

The tournament is associated with Australian equipment retailer [[Paintballshop.com]], founded as part of the Action Paintball Games business established by [[Michael Whybrew]] and [[John Caruana]].[1][7]
Sydney SWAT became the 2006 professional series champion. Backlash won the semi-professional series.[4]


== Competition format ==
=== State of Origin competition ===


The Australian Super 7s has used several tournament formats over its history, including X-Ball and three-player competition.[3]
The final 2006 tournament weekend also incorporated a ten-player State of Origin event. Teams representing New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory competed, while Menace undertook refereeing duties.[4]


The modern series comprises three divisions:
New South Wales won the event, followed by Queensland and Western Australia. The New South Wales roster included several Sydney SWAT players, while Australian Capital Territory and Queensland selected players from their own tournament teams.[4]
 
* '''Professional'''
* '''Semi-professional'''
* '''Amateur'''


Under the series' published S7 format, each team has seven players available, with five participating on the field during each point and two reserves.
=== International players and training ===


Matches use timed, multi-point competition. Teams score by eliminating opponents and activating a buzzer at the opposing starting gate.
The 2006 final round included visiting international players and instructors. Danny Tiljak of Avalanche and Adam Connolly of Edmonton Impact joined Sydney SWAT, while Thomas Taylor of XSV coached the team. Junior Brown of XSV played with Apocalypse, and Nicky Truter joined the Western Australian team Furions.[4]


The series uses electronic paintball markers operating under a 10.5 balls-per-second firing limit.[1]
A tournament clinic hosted by Action Paintball Games covered breakouts, running and shooting, snap shooting and communication. Its instructors included Tiljak, Taylor and Brown. Planet Eclipse also conducted a technical course for owners of its Ego marker.[4]


The championship normally consists of four rounds, with teams accumulating ranking points towards the season standings.
Later seasons continued to attract international participation. New Zealand teams documented in the series include Menace, the Wellington Rebels and the Manawatu Titans. Singaporean teams have also appeared in the official rankings.[2]


== Tournament rounds ==
=== 2007 expansion ===


The series has used various sponsored event names.
Following the inaugural season, organisers announced a four-round 2007 championship spanning New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland. Paintball Pete's Reffs Inc was appointed to handle refereeing for the series.[4]


The 2024 championship comprised the following four rounds:[8]

Revision as of 07:51, 22 October 2026

The Australian Super 7s, also known as the Super 7s Paintball Series or S7S, is an Australian tournament paintball championship. The present series was launched in 2006 and is associated with Action Paintball Games. It has included professional, semi-professional and amateur divisions and has attracted teams and players from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and Canada.[1][2]

An earlier Australian competition using the Super Sevens Series name was announced in 1996. Available records do not establish continuous organisation between the 1996 competition and the series launched in 2006.[3]

The current championship is held at Action Paintball Games in Yarramundi, New South Wales.[1]

History

1996 Super Sevens Series

An early Super Sevens Series was announced by Tim McCarthy of Paintball Australia in 1996. McCarthy proposed a seven-player, bring-your-own-paint competition as a more affordable alternative to contemporary ten-player tournaments.[3]

The format was intended to make it easier for teams to recruit travelling squads, reduce the cost of tournament paint and encourage competition outside Sydney. The series used professional and amateur rankings and assigned experienced teams to referee its events.[3]

Two rounds were announced for 1996:

Round Tournament Date Location
1 South Pacific Championships 5–7 October 1996 Mudgeeraba, Queensland
2 Rebel Tour 30 November–1 December 1996 Skirmish Adventures, Helensburgh, New South Wales

A proposed four-round 1997 calendar included events at Mount White in New South Wales, a South Australian venue, the Gold Coast in Queensland and Helensburgh in New South Wales.[3] The surviving announcement records the intended calendar rather than confirming that all four rounds took place.

Launch of the modern series

The present Australian Super 7s championship was launched in 2006 as a four-round national tournament series.[4] Contemporary coverage described the 2006 season as the first Australian Super 7s Series, indicating that it was presented as a new competition despite the earlier use of the Super Sevens name.[4]

The inaugural championship used three divisions:

  • Professional
  • Semi-professional
  • Division 1

The series travelled between states and concluded with a final round hosted by Action Paintball Games. The championship offered a professional series prize of A$10,000, seven gold championship rings and paint, in addition to prizes awarded at individual rounds.[4]

2006 season

The principal professional contest during the inaugural season developed between Sydney SWAT and New Zealand team Menace. SWAT won the opening round, with Menace finishing second. Menace then won Round 2, an achievement described by Australian Paintball Magazine as the first victory by a New Zealand team at a major Australian tournament.[4]

SWAT defeated Menace in the Queensland round, leaving the two teams tied on series points before the final event. The series championship was consequently decided by whichever team placed higher in Round 4.[4]

The professional preliminary standings at the final round were:

Position Team Points
1 Sydney SWAT 1,089
2 Apocalypse 1,006
3 Menace 977
4 Shock 921
5 Furions 654
6 Mongrel Mob 652

SWAT defeated Shock in its semi-final, while Menace defeated Apocalypse. The best-of-three professional final was tied after its first two games. SWAT won the deciding game to take both the round and the inaugural series championship.[4]

The final Round 4 placings were:

Division First Second Third
Professional Sydney SWAT Menace Apocalypse
Semi-professional Sydney X-Fighters Jetts Bitchin
Division 1 Adrenaline Freaks Shenanigans Uprising

Sydney SWAT became the 2006 professional series champion. Backlash won the semi-professional series.[4]

State of Origin competition

The final 2006 tournament weekend also incorporated a ten-player State of Origin event. Teams representing New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia and the Australian Capital Territory competed, while Menace undertook refereeing duties.[4]

New South Wales won the event, followed by Queensland and Western Australia. The New South Wales roster included several Sydney SWAT players, while Australian Capital Territory and Queensland selected players from their own tournament teams.[4]

International players and training

The 2006 final round included visiting international players and instructors. Danny Tiljak of Avalanche and Adam Connolly of Edmonton Impact joined Sydney SWAT, while Thomas Taylor of XSV coached the team. Junior Brown of XSV played with Apocalypse, and Nicky Truter joined the Western Australian team Furions.[4]

A tournament clinic hosted by Action Paintball Games covered breakouts, running and shooting, snap shooting and communication. Its instructors included Tiljak, Taylor and Brown. Planet Eclipse also conducted a technical course for owners of its Ego marker.[4]

Later seasons continued to attract international participation. New Zealand teams documented in the series include Menace, the Wellington Rebels and the Manawatu Titans. Singaporean teams have also appeared in the official rankings.[2]

2007 expansion

Following the inaugural season, organisers announced a four-round 2007 championship spanning New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland. Paintball Pete's Reffs Inc was appointed to handle refereeing for the series.[4]

The announced schedule included:

Round Date Venue
1 17–18 February 2007 Action Paintball Games, Rouse Hill, New South Wales
2 19–20 May 2007 Action Paintball Games, Western Australia
3 4–5 August 2007 National Paintball Fields, Blacksoil, Queensland
4 16–18 November 2007 Action Paintball Games, Canoelands, New South Wales

The professional championship again offered A$10,000 and seven gold rings. Advertised individual-round prizes included A$6,000 for the professional winner and A$3,000 for the semi-professional winner.[5]

Menace won the 2007 professional series standings with 184 points, two points ahead of Sydney SWAT. Platinum led the semi-professional standings and The Business led the amateur division.[2]

Later development

By 2012, the Super 7s was operating a four-round championship at Action Paintball Games in Rouse Hill. PBLeagues records document rounds in February, May, August and November, with the final event promoted as the Australian Masters.[6][7]

The championship continued through the 2010s with teams including Sydney SWAT, Menace, Hostile Intentions, Sydney X-Fighters, East Side Raw, Perth Crisis, the Wellington Rebels and the Eskimo Brothers.[2]

The series subsequently moved to Action Paintball Games' Yarramundi venue at 770 Springwood Road, New South Wales.[1]

Competition structure

The modern Super 7s generally consists of four rounds, with teams accumulating ranking points towards their divisional season standings.[2]

The principal divisions are:

  • Professional
  • Semi-professional
  • Amateur

Divisional names and lower-division formats have varied during the series' history. Earlier seasons used designations including Division 1, novice competition and three-player formats.[4][6]

The final round is traditionally promoted as the Paintballshop.com Masters or Australian Masters. Series champions receive team awards, while the professional championship has continued the tradition of awarding seven individual championship rings.[8]
