Five lineups took on the same August sequences that the earlier group on August 13th had mastered with a total of 102 points. Last Thursday's ICL team actually lost the internal competition with the first ICL team at iFLY Orlando by six points. However, two of the five lineups were able to improve the previous scores.
DeLand Flashpoint showed up with the complete lineup (Jairo Garcia, Steve Hubbard, Alix Raymond, Jim Prochaska) and turned the previous 13-pointer into the new A Class score of 15 points for iFLY Orlando. The A Class sequence (O,G,6) could also be drawn for the AA/Intermediate Class competition at the USPA Nationals, where Flashpoint plans to compete in October.

Flashpoint also took on the AAA Class sequence, but only as a fun test. The AA/Intermediate Class dive pool does not include any slot switchers, and Block 3 (Side Flake Opal - Turf) was new territory for the team.
The second lineup that added new ICL points to the iFLY Orlando account performed the RRR Class sequence. Sebastian Jimenez, Cathy Luo, Michael Rendon and Mark Messersmith improved the previous score by five points, after a close internal competition with two other FSL lineups last Thursday.

The internal competition came from two DeLand Falcons members (Brad Weinberg, Nicolas Davis), who teamed up with Ramon Chesa and Siddarth Choudhury, who competed with Rookie Class team SDC Foursight at two Midwest Skydiving League meets earlier this year.
Two Bald + Beautiful members (Betsy Waite, Megan Walker) also performed two of the same sequences, together with Hal Spence and Sebastian Jimenez, and they tied the FSL highscore for the RR Class sequence. Noel Damouni was brand-new to the ICL competition and performed his first 4-way formations with a borrowed iFLY suit...
