posted Oct 15th, 2012 - The 4way fans of the Florida Skydiving League and new potential Formation Skydiving competitors of the future met once again at iFLY Orlando last week to sharpen their individual and team skills and put up some scores for the monthly showdown with the Northwest Skydiving League at iFLY Seattle.

Both groups have the opportunity to provide indoor videos for this month's sequences until October 31st. Then the points will be added up for each whole group. The NWSL group won the first showdown in July, and Florida fought back successfully in August. iFLY Orlando was closed for a while in September for maintenance, and October is the third month of this virtual indoor competition.

There are six different categories, and the FSL group increased the total of all scores from 84 in July to 105 in August and now to 113 in October.

Player coach Brian Johnson joined head coach Ari Perelman for the first time. Bob Byrne, Gilles Dutrisac and Kurt Gaebel were the additional assistent coaches.

Florida had the strongest performances in the A Class and in the AAA Rookie Class categories this time and so far. Brian Johnson was guiding Yvonne Saa, Emily Zastrow and Gilles Dutrisac to the 22-pointer in the A Class. However, the Rookie Class lineup with player coaches Gilles Dutrisac and Bob Byrne, together with Joel Kmetz and James Hall, had the highest score with a 27-pointer.

As always, the event began with basic training for skydivers who have not done indoor 4way so far. Then the participants joined different 4way lineups with the coaches to work on individual and 4way skills. The actual competition sequences followed at the end of the training session.

Team Zunday from Skydive City was present with the complete lineup that posted a new team record average (7.7) in the A Class at the September meet of the Florida Skydiving League. They took on this month's AA Class sequence (B,H,9) of the indoor showdown with the Northwest Skydiving League, which could also be a sequence of the A Class dive pool.

iFLY Orlando has a 12-feet flying chamber, which reduces the options for the event's indoor dive pool to a certain number of Blocks and Random Formations. iFLY Seattle has a 14-feet chamber but agreed to limit the dive pool to the same Blocks and Random Formations.

Pyro4ic members Rebecca Kristof and Matthew Hillson, who also competed in the Rookie Class at the FSL September meet, contributed indoor points with player coaches Bob Byrne and Kurt Gaebel in the Rookie AA Class. The AA and A Class sequences of the Rookie category always begin with a Star, while the Rookie AAA Class applies the rules of the outdoor Rookie Class. The sequence of the Rookie A Class has only the Star and one more Random Formation.
