How we know: Each bar runs the years printed on that era's panel, and which eras a page falls in is the archive's grouping of its records, not the length of anyone's career.
- a year printed above a fact or in a title row on this page

- a title year
Printed above the facts or in the title rows, 2004, 2005 and 2007. Printed above none, 2006. Title years 2005 and 2007.

Results
2005 · Likely
The UIM grid prints a name and a country only. The Hungarian federation's 2006 rule book, in its table of the 2005 world and European championship results, prints Pala Tünde first in women's runabout at the 2005 U.I.M. VB, the world championship, and its count of placings at UIM world championships from 1995 to 2005 gives her one first place. The book's foreword says in the federation's own words that Pala Tünde won the women's world championship in the Runabout category in 2005. Reading her as the grid's PALA Tunde rests on the name, the women's runabout class and the year, which is the archive's inference.

2005 · Likely
The same book's table of national championship results by season lists Pala Tünde ninth in RUNABOUT 1200 and tenth in FORMULA-1 for 2005. The federation's 2005 points standings after five rounds agree on those two places and add eleventh in RUNABOUT 800 and twelfth in FORMULA 2. The two documents are read as one rider by the printed name and the matching places, the archive's reading.

2004 · Confirmed
The book's 2004 season table lists her third in the novice women's slalom class (NOVICE NŐI SLALOM, printed NOVICE NRI SLALOM in the held text).
Sources: Hungarian national book 2006
2007 · Likely
The UIM's continental grid lists PALA Tunde, for Hungary, as its 2007 champion in AQUABIKE WOMEN RUNABOUT, a class the grid prints with that one row. The archive reads it as the same rider as the 2005 world row by the name, the country and the women's runabout class, an inference.

What the archive has not read (1)
- No UIM result sheet or report for the 2005 or 2007 seasons is held for her (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for her name, 2026-10-19), so the 2007 title rests on the UIM grid alone, which prints no machine and no placings below first.
Documents cited on this page
- UIM champions grid World (uim.sport): UIM Champions grid, Aquabike World, every non-junior class, 2001 to 2026 (uim.sport, read 5 October 2026), Union Internationale Motonautique; sanctioning body, high. The world governing body's own list of its Aquabike world champions, read through the page's own discipline and class filters and held as one text, class by class, with year, class, country and name exactly as the grid prints them. The page has one address whatever the filter, so the part after # names the filter and is not part of the address. The grid starts in 2001, prints no 2007 or 2008 row in several classes, prints some names with a typing slip (AL ALBDULRAZZAQ for 2015), prints two riders for some years in parallel slalom without saying why, and its country column is often the licensing federation rather than the rider's own country (Lee Stone as BRAZIL, European riders as UAE). No placings below first and no machines.
- UIM champions grid Continental (uim.sport): UIM Champions grid, Aquabike Continental, every non-junior class, 1996 to 2026 (uim.sport, read 5 October 2026), Union Internationale Motonautique; sanctioning body, high. The same UIM grid filtered to its continental (European) championships, held as one text, class by class, from 1996. Same page and address as the world grid; the part after # names the filter. The grid's world list starts in 2001, so its 1996 to 2000 rows here are continental titles, which some secondary lists call world titles. Country is often the licensing federation.
- Hungarian national book 2006 (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part IV, the Hungarian national book (championship results 1992 to 2005 and European and world placings 1994 to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, high. The federation's own book of national rules and results, in Hungarian, read from the extract held here. Section 11 prints the first ten places of each class, and fewer in a small class, in every season of the national championship from 1992 to 2005; section 12 its medal tables, a table of champions by title count, the list of perpetual Hungarian champions and the four riders honoured in 2002; section 13 the placings of its riders at European and world championships from 1994 to 2005; section 1 its officers and section 2 its member bodies with their representatives. High for the federation's own championship lists and tables, which are its own results. Section 13 reports events other bodies ran and no sheet of those events is held, so a claim that rests only on section 13 is marked likely (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-09). Names print family name first. The extract sets two class lists side by side and prints some Hungarian letters as substitute characters, so a name's class is read from its column, checked against the 2005 edition's tab-separated lists. The book also prints phone numbers, addresses and company registration numbers, none of which is copied.
- Hungarian federation 2006 foreword (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part I, foreword (the Hungarian affiliate's own account of its history and results to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, medium. The 2006 edition of the foreword whose 2005 edition is also held, and longer than that one. It repeats the 2005 text on the federation's founding and its riders' European and world results, and adds the federation's hosting of European rounds from 1996 to 2003, the 2004 election of its president to the UIM's aquabike board, and the 2005 world and European medals. It is signed with three names and titles. Medium because it is the federation's own account, single-sourced, and the same body as the 2005 foreword, so the two are not independent. The signatories' contact details are not in the text.
- Hungarian 2005 championship standings (web.archive.org): Osszesitett, the Hungarian national championship's 2005 standings with points after five rounds (Excel file on jet-ski.hu, Wayback capture of 23 December 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, high. The federation's own 2005 standings, read from the Excel file into text, one block per sheet. The per-class sheets (Formula 1 and 2, Formula 3, Runabout, Ski and X2, free style and novice, slalom) give each rider a licence number, club code and start number and points for each of five rounds, and their orders match the 2006 book's 2005 lists. The first sheet, headed with older class names, is a different table set whose season is not established, and nothing here relies on it. In the Formula 1 and 2 sheets one rider's licence number differs from the one the newsletter prints for him; no claim uses a licence number.
