Records and source discrepancies
The final Professional table awards both East Side Raw and NZ Plague 20 Masters points. These entries are retained as published without treating them as evidence of identical final placings.[1][4]
Relentless's third-place Semi-Professional result at Round 3 is explicitly confirmed by the contemporary report, even though its retained points subsequently appear under Professional.[1][3]
Individual awards
The organiser published the following season awards.[4]
| Award | Recipient |
|---|---|
| Professional Player of the Year | Ben Simpson — Sydney SWAT |
| Semi-Professional Player of the Year | Micha Radnich — Gold Coast Rage |
| Amateur Player of the Year | Dave Cowell — Collateral |
