Editing 2009 Australian Super 7s

'''2009 Australian Super 7s''' was the 2009 season of the [[Australian Super 7s]] paintball tournament series. It comprised three rounds in Professional, Semi-Professional and Amateur divisions, with events in New South Wales and Western Australia.[1][2]

[[Menace (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Menace]] won the Professional championship with 144 points. A9X won Semi-Professional on countback against Apocalypse, both finishing with 134 points. Shenanigans won Amateur on countback against Korrupt, both finishing with 138 points.[1][3]

== Calendar ==
The organiser published the following three-round calendar.[2]

{| class="wikitable"
! Round !! Published dates !! Venue
|-
| [[2009 Australian Super 7s Round 1|Round 1]] || 16–17 May 2009 || [[Action Paintball Games]], Rouse Hill, New South Wales

|-

The season announcement explained that the championship had been reduced to three rounds by dropping what would otherwise have been the opening event.[3]

The Masters dates above reproduce the official calendar's full advertised period; they do not establish that all divisions played on all three days.[2]

The following tables reproduce the organiser's final championship rankings. These figures are ranking points, not individual match scores. Published totals and team order are retained, including source discrepancies described below.[1]

Marksmen moved from Amateur to Semi-Professional after Round 2. The organiser stated that the team retained 60 per cent of its original series ranking points. Its first two figures, marked with asterisks, are the original Amateur scores; the published adjusted season total is 75 points.[1]

=== Amateur ===
Shenanigans and Korrupt each finished with 138 points. The organiser explicitly identified Shenanigans as the champion on countback. Action Aces finished third with 90 points.[1][3]

Marksmen's first two Amateur results are preserved in the Semi-Professional table because the organiser subsequently listed the team there following its divisional move.[1]

== Round summaries ==

=== Round 1 ===
''Main article: [[2009 Australian Super 7s Round 1]]''

Menace recorded the highest Professional round points with 50, followed by Extreme with 46 and Hostile Intentions with 44. Apocalypse recorded 50 Semi-Professional points, ahead of A9X with 46 and SWAT Kids with 44.[1]

Marksmen recorded 50 Amateur points before its later divisional move. Action Aces recorded 46, Shenanigans 44 and Korrupt 42.[1]

=== Round 2 ===
''Main article: [[2009 Australian Super 7s Round 2]]''

Extreme recorded the highest Professional round points with 50, followed by STK with 46 and Menace with 44. Menace Kids recorded 50 Semi-Professional points, followed by Killswitch with 46 and A9X with 44.[1]

Korrupt recorded the highest Amateur round points with 50, followed by West Coast Triads with 46 and Shenanigans with 44.[1]

=== Round 3 — Australian Masters ===
''Main article: [[2009 Australian Super 7s Round 3]]''

The organiser explicitly published the following Masters podiums.[3]

{| class="wikitable"
! Place !! Professional !! Semi-Professional !! Amateur
|-
| 1 || [[Menace (New Zealand Paintball Team)|Menace]] || Killswitch || Shenanigans
|-
| 2 || Extreme || SWAT Kids || Korrupt
|-
| 3 || STK || A9X || Action Aces
|}

Menace won both the Professional Masters division and the season championship. Killswitch's Semi-Professional Masters victory was separate from A9X's season title. Shenanigans won both the Amateur Masters division and the Amateur championship.[1][3]

== Records and source discrepancies ==
The final rankings award both SWAT Kids and A9X 44 Semi-Professional points at the Masters. The organiser's separate podium announcement nevertheless explicitly places SWAT Kids second and A9X third. Both published point entries are retained.[1][3]

Marksmen's published total of 75 incorporates the organiser's divisional retention adjustment. Its displayed round entries should therefore not be added together as an unadjusted season total.[1]

Capital Punishment appears last in the published Amateur standings despite its 42-point total. The source order is retained without assigning a revised finishing position.[1]
