It was not much better after the latest FAI/IPC update that the Sun Path Products NSL News presented on December 23rd, 2013. The USA was in 17th place at the end of the 2013 season, while Arizona Airspeed and NMP-PCH Hayabusa continued with their battle for the top spot in the real 4-way world.
There have been no other FAI/IPC updates ever since, and the Sun Path Products NSL News is now posting the first official SKYLEAGUE.COM World Rankings in 4-way competition. The first rankings are considering all scores that 4-way Open Class teams have posted this year.

It is an interesting point in time to take a closer look at the world rankings. The 2015 season is over for most of the 4-way teams. However, the leaderboard with the Top 20 teams will most likely change very soon. The World Air Games in Dubai are coming up soon, and several of the listed teams will compete at the event.
Four of the Top 10 are national teams (Arizona Airspeed, NMP-PCH Hayabusa, Black Cat, France) and have been invited to Dubai. Two of the next ten ranked teams (Vision 99, Rotor Out) will also represent their countries in Dubai, and the new meet averages might change the current rankings.
