Editing 2010 Australian Super 7s

'''2010 Australian Super 7s''' was the 2010 season of the [[Australian Super 7s]] paintball tournament series. It comprised four rounds in Professional, Semi-Professional and Amateur divisions.[1]

Hostile Intentions won the Professional championship with 116 points, SWAT Kids won Semi-Professional with 114 points and Red Dragons won Amateur with 102 points.[1][2]

== 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]

{| class="wikitable"
! 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]

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| 2 || Menace NZ || SWAT Kids || Red Dragons
|-

|-
| 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]

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| 1 || Hostile Intentions || SWAT Kids || Sydney Spartans
|-
| 2 || Explicit || Uprising A || Uprising B
|-

== Season standings ==
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 ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Award !! Recipient
|-
| Professional Player of the Year || Cameron Smith — Hostile Intentions
|-
| Semi-Professional Player of the Year || Glynn Cayir — SWAT Kids

| Tolson Dimovski Memorial Award for an Outstanding Contribution to Australian Paintball || Ryan Greenspan
|}

Greenspan received the memorial award for conducting clinics around Australia to support player development and professionalism.[2]
