Editing NXL Australia (section)

=== Development in 2016 ===
The original league website described NXL Australia as an initiative involving [[Hot Shots Paintball|Hot Shots Pro Shop]], regional paintball operators and [[GI Sportz]]. Its advertised structure connected regional series to a national championship and offered the national winners an opportunity to compete at the NXL World Cup in Florida.[1]

[[Paintball Sports ACT]] advertised a four-event National Xball League series for experienced competitors during 2016, beginning on 13 March. This five-player programme was listed separately from its three-player beginners' competition.[2]

In Western Australia, [[WASP Paintball]] advertised a pre-season feeder event for 1 May 2016 at WASP Dizzy Lamb Park, ahead of its regional NXL series commencing in July.[3]

A contemporary participant report confirms that [[2016 NXL Australia Queensland Round 1|Queensland Round 1]] took place on 10 July 2016 at [[Tactical Operations Paintball|TAC OPS]], Rosewood. [[Instinct (Australian Paintball Team)|Instinct]] finished third in its division after defeating [[Prodigy (Australian Paintball Team)|Prodigy]] in the third-place play-off.[5]

In Victoria, [[RAW Paintball]] announced that its third round of 2016 would also serve as the first Victorian NXL Australia round.[6]
