Two genuine, unresolved conflicts
2004 is shown as not held, per the competition's own history text, even though a disputed results-table entry exists elsewhere crediting a result that could not be independently corroborated. The 2020 grand final's winner (Hela Wigmen) is not in dispute, but its exact score is: two out of three sources found say 16-14, one says 14-6 — shown as 16-14 with this discrepancy flagged rather than silently resolved.
