[edit | edit source]

A twelve-round provisional calendar was revealed on January 26, 2016 with the sixth, seventh and eighth round to be announced, though it was certain the sixth and seventh round would take place on a military base.[1] On March 3, 2016 GRC announced the eighth round would take place in Atlantic City[2] and on June 1, 2016 GRC announced the sixth and seventh round would take place at the Marine Corps Air Station New River.[3] It was the first time since the 2012 season that all events were held in the United States.
