Records and source discrepancies

The final tables contain points carried between divisions. These retained credits should not be treated as additional event appearances or added to the original divisional scores.[1]

The organiser used different Eskimo team names in contemporary round reports and final standings. The Round 2 Semi-Professional podium names Eskimo Bros, while the final season table records Eskimo Avalanche with the corresponding 26-point entry.[1]

The archived results page contains several seasons. The tables above use the section explicitly headed “2018 Results”, rather than the separate 2019 tables on the same page.[1]

Individual awards

The organiser published the following season awards.[1]

Award	Recipient
Professional Player of the Year	Alex Orr
Amateur Player of the Year	Grace Jeffery
Referee of the Year	Michael Youman
