Records and source discrepancies
[edit]The Novice Masters report was published on 14 November 2016, while the combined Masters and series report was published in December. These publication dates are not treated as tournament dates.[1]
The final Novice table awards both GSP and Bad Intentions 20 Masters points. These figures are retained without inferring identical final placings.[1]
Team names follow the relevant official reports. Sydney SWAT is shortened to SWAT in the final points table, while the opening Novice report uses “Island Focus” and “MS Pain” where the final table uses Highland Focus and MS Paint.[1]
