The Dallas Super Cup concluded the 2012 season in a fashionable way, as the competition draw for last weekend included a Super Sequence in Round 4 (J-F-E-Q-N). A sequence of only Random Formations is nothing unusual for Rookie Class teams, and the A Class draw includes sequences with three Random Formations on a regular basis, as well.
AAA Class teams and even AA Class teams have to wait much longer until a Super Sequence comes out of the hat or pops up from CamScore or any other draw programs. It happened last weekend for only the second time this year, and the teams in Texas and Florida could take advantage of the opportunity to boost their meet averages.

There are 63 competition draws in this year's NSL records, and not all of them were drawn by CamScore in the NSL office. It obviously does not happen too often that a Super Sequence is generated, manually or eletronically. There was a third Super Sequence (P-A-B-J-D) at the Italian Nationals 2012, which was drawn in Italy.
A Super Sequence comes a little bit more often out of the NSL competition draw for the AA Class teams. It can happen whenever a Block is drawn after the 4th Random Formation for the AAA Class teams, as the NSL competition draw for the other three categories is based on the AAA Class sequences.
The record averages in Texas could easily be explained only with the Super Sequence, but this would not do justice to the team performances last weekend. The 15.0 average of Dallas Khaos XP was not only supported by the 25-pointer in Round 4. The Khaos scores for the other slower rounds were also a point higher than at the previous meets, except in Round 6. The same counts for the other two AAA Class teams, as well as for Dallas Storm and the Glitter Girls on the AA Class leaderboard.
Dallas Pulse did not have any 1-digit number on the leaderboard after three of them in August, and the two AA Class teams simply scored higher in all rounds and all sequences. Also, Dallas En Fuego, with player coach Annie Peterson this time, has apparently caught up with the Dallas Khaos XP pace. Only the 3-point deduction in Round 6 made the difference look bigger than it is. There will be a tough internal Texas race at the USPA Nationals 2012.
