Editing 2012 Australian Super 7s

'''2012 Australian Super 7s''' was the 2012 season of the [[Australian Super 7s]] paintball tournament series. The four-round championship included Professional, Semi-Professional, Amateur and Novice divisions at [[Action Paintball Games]] in Rouse Hill, New South Wales.[1][2]

Sydney SWAT won the Professional championship, Sydney Cyndicate won Semi-Professional, Furious won Amateur and The Wobbles won Novice.[1][2]

== Rounds ==
The season comprised the following events. Novice competition used a separate one-day format; the Masters Novice event was moved to the preceding weekend.[2][3]

The published Hustlers and Vengeance sequences contain only three figures, so their entries have not been assigned to four individual rounds. The contemporary Round 3 report independently confirms Hustlers' third-place Amateur finish.[1][2]

The asterisks attached to Omega and Blitzkreig are reproduced as published; their meaning is not explained in the archived season report.[1]

=== Novice ===
The championship summary names The Wobbles as champion, Blitzkreig as runner-up and Signal 1 third. The detailed points list omits Blitzkreig, so the following table is not a complete final classification.[1]
