Editing Australian Super 7s (section)

=== Earlier Super Sevens competition ===
In 1996, Tim McCarthy of Paintball Australia announced a seven-player Super Sevens Series using a bring-your-own-paint format. The proposal sought to reduce tournament costs and make travelling squads easier to assemble, with Professional and Amateur rankings.[3]

The announcement identified the South Pacific Championships on the Gold Coast in October and the Rebel Tour at Skirmish Adventures, Helensburgh, on 30 November–1 December 1996. A proposed 1997 calendar included Mount White, a South Australian venue, the Gold Coast and Helensburgh.[3]

These announcements document intended events rather than establish that every proposed round took place.
