posted Nov 8th, 2014 - The Florida Skydiving League teams and competitors came together at iFLY Orlando the same day when the teams in the Czech Republic launched their indoor winter season.

It was a much larger group at the Hurricane Factory last Thursday with 14 teams, while the Florida group generated five lineups at iFLY Orlando. However, the tasks were different ones, as the Czech teams completed a whole 10-round draw when the Florida lineups worked on the November sequences of the Indoor Cloud League.

Two new participants (Paul Neely, Brandon Sbordone) were worked into the Florida lineups after warming up at the training session the same evening two hours earlier. Brandon Sbordone, who will soon work for iFLY Virginia Beach, ended up with two 28-pointer highscores at his first 4-way night.

The Florida lineups had once again internal competition for the highest scores on the Indoor Cloud League leaderboard. Three different teams performed the same four sequences (A - Rookie AAA - Rookie AA - Rookie A). Jairo Garcia, Chris Dunbar, Alix Raymond and Brandon Sbordone won with the highest total of 89 points and contributed 56 points to the iFLY Orlando total.

Player coaches Gilles Dutrisac and Hal Spence added the 14 points for the Rookie AAA Class with Bob Palatka and Jairo Garcia and outscored Ali Bawden, Paul Neely, Chris Dunbar and Alix Raymond by one single point.

The internal competition for the AAA and AA Class highscores was even more interesting, as Gilles Dutrisac, Kurt Gaebel and Hal Spence offered each of the four different "4-way youngsters" (Sebastian Jimenez, James Hall, Seth Claytor, Steve Hubbard) an equal opportunity to join the more experienced 3-way.

It was a good and close race between the four candidates, who also had their own lineup for the same sequences in the same slots. The three player coaches switched to different positions to accommodate the new arrivals at each flying session.

The original lineup (Sebastian Jimenez - Point, James Hall - Tail, Seth Claytor - Center Inside, Steve Hubbard - Center Outside) also contributed their own 23 points for the A Class sequence, and they outscored one of the lineups with the three player coaches.

Tail James Hall ended up winning the internal competition with the two highscores in both categories and a total contribution of 55 points (AAA - AA - A) to the iFLY Orlando account. Only Gilles Dutrisac also finished the ICL night with three highscores for his total of 46 points. It turned out to be one of the best starts ever for iFLY Orlando into an ICL month...
