posted Jul 14th, 2016 - The Sun Path Products NSL News goes back one more time to the June 25 meet weekend before several events will probably create the largest outdoor leaderboard of the 2016 season this weekend.

AA and Rookie Class teams dominated the leaderboard of the June 25 weekend, and Spaceland Lite was the only AAA Class team that competed at the Texas Shootout 2016. However, it was an important competition for Lite, as it was also the first outdoor meet with the new 2016 lineup.

The Sun Path Products NSL News had introduced the new Lite roster on March 30th, after the completion of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2016. The story on June 27th provided an update after the Texas Shootout and mentioned that Spaceland Lite finished with the team's highest outdoor average since the first competition in September 2010.

The earlier story mentioned that the competition draw for the 6-round meet did not support high scores, as it included 12 blocks and four slot-switching sequences, while only Round 3 brought some relief.

It was not only the number of blocks and the slot-switchers that made it difficult to post high scores. Five of the six competition rounds also had a block move at the beginning of the sequence, which increases the sub-terminal challenge after the exit and creates a slow start. There was also one exception to this rule, when Block 17 (Danish T - Murphy) started the sequence in Round 6. Spaceland Lite mastered this task like a world class team.

Spaceland Lite now provided the six meet videos, which are showing how the USPA Advanced Class champion of 2011 scored the new team record average.
