posted Aug 24th, 2012 - Another quick update is overdue after last weekend's meets. The Florida Skydiving League competed together with the teams from the Czech Republic and had bad luck with Florida's summer weather on Saturday.

Bob Byrne reported from Skydive City that he had five teams present and ready to go on Saturday. The weather did not allow the completion of any rounds, and only two teams were prepared to come back on Sunday.

The new Rookie Class lineup from Skydive City, Pyro4ic, is a team formed by Z-Scrambles and FSL Tunnel Kicker participants. Laura Song helped as a player coach guiding the team through the first outdoor competition. Two Pyro4ic members had 100 jumps or less entering the meet. Pyro4ic eventually had a great race with the Rookie Class lineup from Skydive Miami, and both teams ended up tied after three rounds. Sky Vengeance from the Czech Republic won the Rookie Class competition on the weekend's overall leaderboard.

ZHills Commandos competed with a new member on Sunday. Juan Lopez had previously competed in the Rookie Class with SOCOM Commandos. Tail Paul Bartkus was unavailable for this meet, and Juan Lopez filled his slot in the familiar Center Inside position that he knew from the SOCOM Commandos.

Emily Zastrow switched from Center Inside to Tail, while Juan Lopez did his best to master the AA Class challenge. He skipped the A Class in a big step by moving up from the Rookie Class experience to the Center Inside slot of an AA Class team. The ZHills Commandos front piece was unchanged with Yvette (Point) and Keith Walter (Center Outside).

Juan Lopez was excited and happy, as the team photo shows, and he had a good reason. ZHills Commandos did not stay too far behind the previous scoring level, and the FSL team finished in 2nd place on the overall leaderboard, only outscored by winner Hvezdy from the Czech Republic.
