=== Final-stage records ===
Sykaryos beat Hellfish Paintball Team 4–0 in the Division 3 final. Hellfish Paintball Team had beaten TOWERS 5–2 in the semi-final.[3]

The Division 4 final-stage table records SYKARYOS WANNABE with a 4–1 result against Hellfish Paintball Team RED in its second game column. Its first game column instead contains ''F'' for both teams.[3] The numerical result and published placings identify SYKARYOS WANNABE as the winner, but the reason for the additional coded entry has not been verified.[2][3]

== Gaps and distinctions ==
=== Third-place records ===
The final placings list TOWERS third in Division 3 and VAGOS RONNIN third in Division 4.[2] No separate third-place matches appear in the recovered score tables, so no consolation scorelines are inferred.

=== Preliminary and final positions ===
TOWERS finished second in the Division 3 preliminary table but lost its semi-final and finished third. VAGOS RONNIN led the Division 4 preliminary rankings but lost its semi-final to Hellfish Paintball Team RED and finished third.[2][3] Preliminary rankings are distinguished from final event placings.

The event results do not independently establish season champions or fulfilment of World Cup entry and travel prizes.
