It was a long competition and bled into the following year, yet we have finally wrapped things up. We had seen over 30 coaches pick new teams to represent their location within the Australasia/Asia region. And as tough has the group stage was, it all culminated in an epic top 16 knockout where only one was crowned the winners!

Massive congratulations to Djoolyurn and his Human team, The Padang Pirates. Fantastic performance after such a long journey! That is a total of 18 trophies on the BBLANZ Rankings, awesome stuff!

Shout out to both JamesDSF and Maron for taking home the 2nd and 3rd place prize, terrific effort toward the end. And thank you to everyone else for a great competition! It'll be up in the air what happens with 2023's AA Cup, but it's sure to be as fun as always.
