2015 Australian Super 7s
2015 Australian Super 7s was the 2015 season of the Australian Super 7s paintball tournament series. The four-round championship was hosted by Action Paintball Games in Rouse Hill, New South Wales.[1][2]
NVS won the Professional championship, finishing level with Sydney SWAT on 196 points. Frequency won Semi-Professional with 110 points, while Urban Assault led the published Novice standings with 102 points.[1]
Rounds and divisions
[edit]The opening round used four division names: Champions, Challengers, Semi Pro and Novice. Subsequent round reports and final standings contain Champions, Semi Pro and Novice sections. No separate Challengers results have been established for Rounds 2–4.[1][3][4]
| Round | Event | Date information |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | HK Army Classic | Champions, Challengers and Semi Pro: 21–22 February 2015; Novice: 15 February |
| Round 2 | Dye Asia Cup | Exact playing dates not established in the cited records |
| Round 3 | Planet Eclipse Open | Exact playing dates not established in the cited records |
| Round 4 | Killer Paintballs Masters | Exact playing dates not established in the cited records |
The opening dates were published in the organiser's calendar.[2]
Round results
[edit]Round 1 — HK Army Classic
[edit]Main article: 2015 Australian Super 7s Round 1
The organiser explicitly identified the following podiums.[3]
| Place | Champions | Challengers | Semi Pro | Novice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sydney SWAT | Cult | Frequency | Urban Assault |
| 2 | NVS | Collateral | Raw Gravity | Deathstalkers |
| 3 | Sydney Explicit | Red Raw | TPC Prospects | Hornsby Havoc |
The original Challengers results are distinct from the later Champions season table, which incorporates first-round entries from teams originally listed in Challengers.[1][3]
Round 2 — Dye Asia Cup
[edit]Main article: 2015 Australian Super 7s Round 2
The contemporary two-round standings record NVS with the highest Champions round points and Climax with the highest Semi Pro round points. Urban Assault won Novice.[4]
| Division | Leading Round 2 entries |
|---|---|
| Champions | NVS — 50; Sydney SWAT — 48; Sydney Explicit — 46 |
| Semi Pro | Climax — 30; Blitzkrieg — 28; Frequency — 26 |
| Novice | Urban Assault — 30; TPC Rookies — 28; Triple Threat — 26 |
Climax's 30-point Semi Pro result appears in the contemporary two-round standings. The final season report instead includes that credit in the Champions table. The original event division is retained here.[1][4]
Round 3 — Planet Eclipse Open
[edit]Main article: 2015 Australian Super 7s Round 3
NVS recorded the highest Champions round points, TPC Prospects led Semi Pro and TPC Rookies won Novice.[5]
| Division | Leading Round 3 entries |
|---|---|
| Champions | NVS — 50; Sydney SWAT — 48; Sydney Explicit — 46 |
| Semi Pro | TPC Prospects — 30; PC Gridlock — 28; Frequency — 26 |
| Novice | TPC Rookies — 30; NPC — 28; Urban Assault — 26 |
The organiser's explicit Novice finishing order places Point Blank twelfth. The accompanying points table lists Point Blank twice, with conflicting Round 3 entries of 12 and 8 points.[5]
Round 4 — Killer Paintballs Masters
[edit]Main article: 2015 Australian Super 7s Round 4
The organiser explicitly identified the following Masters results.[1]
| Place | Professional | Semi-Professional | Novice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sydney SWAT | Sandbaggers | Frenzy |
| 2 | NVS | Frequency | Not specified in the winner announcement |
| 3 | Explicit | Marauders | Not specified in the winner announcement |
The Novice points table records Deathstalkers with 28 Round 4 points and Undisputed with 26.[1]
SWAT's Professional Masters victory was separate from NVS's season championship. Frequency won the Semi-Professional season title, while Sandbaggers won the final round.[1]
Season standings
[edit]The following tables reproduce the organiser's final rankings from its Masters report. Figures are championship ranking points, not individual match scores. Published ordering and divisional allocations are retained, including discrepancies explained below.[1]
Champions — Professional
[edit]NVS and Sydney SWAT each finished with 196 points. The organiser explicitly named NVS as the Professional series winner but did not explain the tie-breaking decision in the cited report. Sydney Explicit finished third with 184 points.[1]
| Team | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NVS | 48 | 50 | 50 | 48 | 196 |

| Furious | 38 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 38 |
| Collateral | 28 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 28 |
Earlier-round credits in this final table do not establish that every team originally competed in Champions. Cult, Collateral, Red Raw and Climax were listed in Challengers at Round 1, while Climax was listed in Semi Pro at Round 2.[3][4]
Semi-Professional
[edit]Frequency won with 110 points, followed by Marauders with 90 and TPC Prospects with 72.[1]

| Furious C | 14 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 14 |
| Sydney Wolfpack | 0 | 12 | 0 | 0 | 12 |
The final table includes a 20-point Round 1 credit for TPC Unlimited, although the original Round 1 results listed that entry in Challengers. The season credit is not treated as a separate Semi Pro event result.[1][3]

† The organiser lists Point Blank twice with conflicting Round 3 figures. These are unresolved source entries, not evidence of two separate teams or two results to be added together.[1][5]
The published order places Donkey Punching Kangaroos below teams with lower totals. That order is retained without assigning revised season positions.[1]
