Did you know that the July 15 weekend featured three combined leaderboards for two rounds? posted: Jul 25th, 2017 Last weekend did not bring any new scores to the leaderboards, and the scores of the July 15 weekend are still the latest ones.
It was a special leaderboard though, as it happens to turn out once in a while. The NSL competition draw for the AAA Class is always randomly created and then trickles down into the other three outdoor categories. This procedure creates an interesting situation whenever a sequence is identical for two different categories. In such a case, teams have the opportunity to compare their scores directly with others in a higher or lower category.
A 5-point AAA Class sequence... (more)
