posted Aug 13th, 2008 - The teams of the female 4-way category are already done with their semifinals.

It is still a tight competition on the very top. All three teams in the medal positions lost points, Aerokart Deep Blue two, Fastrax Blue and Bodyflight Storm one each. The final round can still change everything tomorrow.

The judges are currently working on the semifinals in the 4-way Open Class.

The Dutch team Dynamic Fource has a large fan group here. It was very loud in the hangar with the viewing area when the Netherlands team was on the screen.

The NSL News coverage of the FAI World Meet 2008 is brought to you with the help of:

The NSL News is working on the next update of the Fun Flag drama. It was another very exciting day with very unusual things going on. Nathan Polis is still looking for some photos, which have been hidden from the NSL News so far. Stay tuned.

There are also a lot meet videos to come, probably after the event has been concluded. It is still almost impossible to upload videos.

The NSL News visited the iScore headquarters yesterday where two young students and 4-way competitors, Sebastian and Mathieu, have created the most comprehensive judging system that the NSL News has seen yet. The two masterminds visisted the NSL News today for a live interview, which will be uploaded later.

Videos of the 4-way Open Class semifinals continue to take turns with the artictic events.

Russia posted a 28-pointer first and lost a point for a 27 on the scoreboard. France had a clean 28-pointer as the highscore for the round so far.

Hayabusa did not have the greatest round after a bad start with the first bust right out the door. They grip switched to the Yuan, and it did not go well with the judges. It was costly, France is now in second place.

Airspeed tied the 28-pointer posted two videos earlier by France and has it probably wrapped up now. The sequence of Round 8 does not really allow anybody to make a big move. All medal positions are probably occupied for good. But the Fat Lady still has not sung yet...

The 8-way semifinals will be next.
