Rounds

The organiser advertised the opening three rounds at Action Paintball Games, Rouse Hill, New South Wales. The surviving calendar retained a provisional-date warning. Subsequent results confirm that these rounds took place, without independently restating their exact playing dates.[3][4]

The Masters programme explicitly scheduled tournament play for 13–14 November, with registration and the captains' meeting on 12 November.[2]

Round results

Round 1

Main article: 2010 Australian Super 7s Round 1

Sydney SWAT recorded the highest Professional round points. The organiser identified SWAT Kids as the Semi-Professional winner and Uprising A, also called Uprising 1, as the Amateur winner.[5][6]

Uprising A's original Amateur result was subsequently carried into the Semi-Professional season standings at a reduced value.[1][5]

Round 2

Main article: 2010 Australian Super 7s Round 2

The organiser published the following leading finishers.[2]

Place	Professional	Semi-Professional	Amateur
1	Hostile Intentions	Carnivores	Uprising A
2	Menace NZ	NBK	Red Dragons
3	Menace WA	SWAT Kids	Uprising B
4	Sydney SWAT	The Business	Korrupt

Menace WA finished third but received a two-point ranking deduction for a second import player. Its resulting 24 points did not represent a tied placing with fourth-placed Sydney SWAT.[1][2]

Round 3

Main article: 2010 Australian Super 7s Round 3

The organiser published the following leading finishers.[2][4]

Place	Professional	Semi-Professional	Amateur

3	Sydney SWAT	Carnivores	Stand Alone
4	X-Fighters	Shenanigans	ACT Notorious

For this round, the organiser announced ten-minute, race-to-five Professional matches; eight-minute, race-to-three Semi-Professional matches; and five-minute, race-to-two Amateur matches.[2][4]

Round 4 — Australian Paintball Masters

Main article: 2010 Australian Super 7s Round 4

The organiser explicitly published the following Masters placings.[2]

Place	Professional	Semi-Professional	Amateur

2	Explicit	Uprising A	Uprising B
3	Sydney SWAT	Carnivores	Not specified in the podium announcement

Hostile Intentions and SWAT Kids won both their Masters divisions and their respective season championships. Sydney Spartans won the Amateur Masters division, while Red Dragons won the Amateur season championship.[1][2]

The following tables reproduce the organiser's final championship rankings. Figures are ranking points rather than match scores. Published team order and totals are retained, including discrepancies explained below.[1]

Earlier-round figures carried into another division are adjusted season credits, not evidence that the team originally competed in that division.

Records and source discrepancies

Hustle finished seventh in Semi-Professional at Round 3, with 18 points in the contemporary three-round standings. The final season table instead records a seven-point Round 3 credit under Professional and omits the earlier Semi-Professional entry. The final table is reproduced above without treating that credit as a separate Professional event result.[1][4][7]

The Masters rankings award both Sydney SWAT and Menace NZ 26 Professional points. The separate podium announcement explicitly places SWAT third.[1][2]

The final rankings do not state totals for Ronin or Sweet Lemonade. Their missing totals have not been filled by calculation.[1]

The organiser used both Explicit and Xplicit, and both SWAT Kids and SWAT Kidz. The season tables retain the final rankings' spellings.[1][2]

Individual awards

Award	Recipient

Semi-Professional Player of the Year	Glynn Cayir — SWAT Kids
