2017 PALM Iran season
The 2017 PALM Iran season comprised four rounds of the Iranian PALM series, all listed in Tehran. The organiser's calendar marked each round as completed and designated the final event “Leg 4 & Championships”.[1]
Datis Tehran won Division 1 at each of the first three rounds, while Datis Shemiranat won Division 2 at the first two rounds.[2][7][9] Documented overall season placings include second place for Tehran in Division 1 and third place for Sorena in Division 2.[6][8]

After the third round, Planet Eclipse reported that Datis Tehran held a comfortable lead in the Division 1 season standings and that Datis Shemiranat was close to securing the Division 2 title. The report was published before the final round.[7]
