2007 Australian X-Ball League
2007 Australian X-Ball League was a season of the Australian X-Ball League paintball competition. Contemporary advertising scheduled the opening round at Karangi, New South Wales, while Australian forum records document a subsequent event in Western Australia. Reports of the Western Australian event identify X-Fighter$ Red as the leading-division winner and Southern Storm as the amateur winner.[1][2][3]
Events
[edit]Round 1
[edit]An advertisement in Australian Paintball Magazine scheduled Round 1 for 3–4 March 2007 at Extreme Skirmish in Karangi, near Coffs Harbour, New South Wales.[1]
The advertisement documents the planned event. Its completion and results have not yet been verified from the recovered sources.
Perth event
[edit]The archived Bill's Paintball tournament index lists discussions titled “Axl Round 2 – Perth”, “R2 AXL Perth”, “The Official AXL Rd 2 Thread” and “AXL Rd 2 Field Layout” within its 2007 tournament sequence.[2]
A surviving results discussion, captured in May 2007, confirms that an AXL event took place in Western Australia. Participants reported six teams in the leading division and two amateur teams.[3]
The exact playing dates and named field have not yet been verified from the recovered material.
