posted Dec 5th, 2015 - The Sun Path Products NSL News announced the SKYLEAGUE.COM Team World Rankings for the first time on November 9th.

The outdoor rankings were first, in 4-way Open and 4-way Women, followed by the first indoor rankings on November 12th.

The results of the Clash of Champions had an impact on the indoor rankings, even though the leaderboard of the competition looked very similar to the previous rankings, as well as to the new ones.

SportLoto lost the Top 10 spot, and Evolution moved up to the 7th place after the team's first indoor competition this year. The Canadians actually finished tied in 5th place at the Clash of Champions.

However, SDC Rhythm XP maintained the team's Top 10 spot and dropped only from 5th to 6th place after missing the meet in Dubai.

The French FLY-INN Girls did not have a Top 10 spot in the Open Class rankings before the Clash of Champions. The 5th place and the 26.9 average in Dubai moved the French national team in 4-way Women up to the 8th place in the Open Class rankings. The Golden Knights defended the 4th place successfully and improved the average from 27.0 to 27.8 for the best three meets.

The US Army team passed the Russian national 4-way team in the Open Class, Black Cat, and would have taken the 3rd place if there wasn't Weembi Lille, who moved from 6th to 3rd place after the team's second indoor meet this year.

The French team had a different lineup at Inflight Dubai. Only 4-way world champion of 2010, Julien Degen, was back with the team, while his team mates at the World Challenge 2015, Sophia Pecout and Christine Malnis, competed with the French FLY-IN Girls. Julien Degen had brothers Mathieu and Guillaume Bernier in his lineup this time, world champion team mates of 2010. Reigning 4-way world champion Roy Janssen completed the Weembi lineup.

Gavroche still hangs on to the Top 10 spot after the 11th place at the Clash of Champions and shares it with Thunder ISR. The 8th place in Dubai moved the Belgian amateur team very close to both French national teams.

The Qatar Tigers are still in 11th place after the great performance at the Clash of Champions. However, the distance to the French Girls in 8th place is only 0.3 average points after the meet in Dubai.

Seven Top 10 teams of the indoor rankings are now competing again at the World Air Games. Two of the Weembi Lille members (Julien Degen, Mathieu Bernier) will also stay in Dubai as members of the French 8-way team.

Thunder ISR and Gavroche were not invited, as NMP PCH Hayabusa and FLY-INN represent Belgium and France in the 4-way Open Class at the World Air Games 2015. Golden Knights and French FLY-IN Girls will have their own leaderboard in 4-way Women. The Team World Rankings in 4-way outdoor competition will be updated after the ten rounds next week in Dubai.
