2020 Australian Super 7s was the 2020 season of the Australian Super 7s paintball tournament series. Four rounds were advertised for Professional, Semi-Professional, Amateur and Novice teams at Action Paintball Games in Rouse Hill, New South Wales.[1][4]

The opening HK Army Classic is documented by results for all four divisions. The May DLX Technologies Cup was cancelled because of COVID-19 travel restrictions and uncertainty over restrictions on sporting events. Completion of the advertised Planet Eclipse Open and Australian Masters remains unconfirmed in the cited records.[2][3]

COVID-19 disruption

[edit]

In an announcement headed “2020 Super 7s DLX Technologies Cup Cancelled”, promoter Michael Whybrew cancelled the May event. He cited Australia's two-week quarantine requirement for international arrivals, uncertainty about restrictions on sporting events and outdoor gatherings, and the possibility of domestic flight cancellations.[3]

The announcement specifically identified the difficulty facing New Zealand teams Expendables, Rebel Unit and Immortal Knights. The organiser stated that the travel arrangements described would make their participation effectively impossible and that missing a round would compromise their championship opportunities.[3]

The decision was also intended to prevent competitors from booking travel and accommodation for an event that might subsequently be unable to proceed. Possible limits on venue attendance were discussed as a further risk, rather than reported as confirmed tournament attendance limits.[3]

Rescheduling the DLX Technologies Cup between Round 3 and the Masters was considered, but no replacement date was confirmed. The organiser also stated that the remaining events were uncertain, pending further government decisions.[3]

The notice does not explicitly cancel Round 3 or Round 4. No quantified reduction in attendance at the completed opening round is established by the cited records.

Round summaries

[edit]

Round 1 — HK Army Classic

[edit]

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 1

The archived official results record points for all four divisions. Eskimo Bros recorded the highest Professional points, Eskimo Brothers led Semi-Professional, Bushpigs led Amateur and KDK led Novice.[2]

The full recorded point allocations appear below.

Round 2 — DLX Technologies Cup

[edit]

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 2

The organiser explicitly cancelled the May event because of COVID-19 restrictions and uncertainty. Although rescheduling was discussed, neither a replacement date nor completed replacement results is established by the cited records.[2][3]

Round 3 — Planet Eclipse Open

[edit]

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 3

The August dates remained on the published calendar, but the archived results contain no Planet Eclipse Open points in any division.[1][2]

The cancellation announcement described uncertainty over the remaining events without explicitly cancelling Round 3. Its completion therefore remains unconfirmed; blank results alone do not establish cancellation.[2][3]

Round 4 — Australian Masters

[edit]

Main article: 2020 Australian Super 7s Round 4

The November event remained advertised, but the archived results contain no Masters points in any division.[1][2]

The announcement cancelling the DLX Technologies Cup was still displayed on the homepage captured on 6 December 2020. That notice concerned the May event and does not establish a specific cancellation of the Masters.[3]

No completed Masters results are confirmed by the cited records.

Verified results

[edit]

The archived 2020 results contain numeric points only for the HK Army Classic. The DLX Cup, Planet Eclipse Open and Masters columns are blank, and each published annual total equals its opening-round figure.[2]

The following tables therefore reproduce Round 1 ranking points only. They are not individual match scores or evidence that formal season championships were awarded.[2]

Professional

[edit]
Team HK Army Classic points
Eskimo Bros 30
Eskimo Nation 28
Sydney SWAT 26
Perth Crisis 24
Expendables 20*
East Side Raw 20
Marauders 18
Rebel Unit 16
Syndicate 14
The Mungers 12

Expendables' figure includes a two-point deduction for fielding two United States Professional players. Its 20 points do not independently establish an equal placing with East Side Raw.[2]
