SHem 0 #2 October 14, 2016 CORRECTION - This should say 2016..."to be determined by which of the two teams finishes higher at the 2017 USPA Nationals."

SHem 0 #3 October 31, 2016 The site has been determined! In the 16-way event at the USPA Nationals, Deguello 17 finished higher (and with a bronze medal!) than Dallas Disturbance, so the Pre-Nationals meet will be held at Skydive Spaceland-Houston.>> "Here's how you cure cancer: make it more cool for a kid to grow up to be a scientist than it is for him or her to be an athlete or a Pop Star.
