posted May 2nd, 2016 - The Indoor Cloud League leaderboard for the month of April is almost complete. iFLY SF Bay and SkyVenture Montreal still have a few days to add their April scores and videos and possibly interfere with the exciting situation on the top of the leaderboard.

The current scores would bring iFLY Houston much closer to regional rival iFLY Dallas and iFLY Seattle, who were separated by only one point in the 2016 rankings after the March scores.

Both teams would have been very close again in April. However, iFLY Dallas does not have a score for the AAA Class sequence, and iFLY Seattle will move up to the 4th place.

The Northern California Skydiving League had the outdoor season opener scheduled for last weekend, and the missing indoor scores might be posted together with the first outdoor scores.

The new Indoor Cloud League month brings additional sequences to the participating wind tunnels and groups. The remainder of the 2016 season will be used to test the format with the addition of sequences for larger flying chambers.

The first phase of the Indoor Cloud League included only sequences that could be performed in wind tunnels of any sizes, which included the most limited 12-foot flying chamber. It was yet only a matter of time when participating ICL teams at locations with larger wind tunnels and flying chambers would be ready to take on the whole dive pool.

Random indoor competitions with 16-foot chambers, such as World Challenge, Clash of Champions, Paraclete XP Indoor Championship, have been using the complete FAI dive pool for 10-round meets, while other 14-foot chambers (ISR Grand Prix, FAI World Cup and World Meet) leave out only a few blocks at their events.

The extension of the Indoor Cloud League sequences will allow teams and competitors to test more of their technical skills. There will be additional sequences for AAA/AA/A Class teams that can be performed in 14- and 16-foot flying chambers, while nothing changes for any of the Rookie Class sequences.

Only two blocks (1 and 13) make the difference between a 14-foot and a 16-foot flying chamber, which means that the ICL sequences will be mostly identical between these two tunnel sizes.

The ICL teams in the larger wind tunnels have the opportunity to choose one set of six sequences, or they may post even more scores and videos for the additional AAA/AA/A Class sequences. The categories remain as they have been for all wind tunnels, and there will be separate leaderboards for the different tunnel sizes. Let the new games begin...
