Differently compared to the 4-way teams in the Czech Republic, Florida and Northern California continue with the monthly indoor competition throughout the outdoor season, as well.
Florida has been running the WTL meets every other month, while Northern California offers 6-round meets each month.
The competition draw is synchronized between the participating teams, and the draw is posted at the beginning of the month. All meet rounds can only be performed once on the announced date at each wind tunnel under the conditions of a live meet, while teams still have the opportunity to practice for the competition sequences between the beginning of the month and the meet date.

Teams from Florida and Northern California competed the last time together in August. Florida had all teams in the AAA and AA rankings, and Northern California was alone in the A and Rookie Class. Meta4 won the AA/Intermediate Class indoor competition in August and followed up with six more rounds in September before bringing the USPA silver medals in the same category to Northern California after the USPA Nationals 2017. Meta4 competed under the team name Cali4nia Raptors in Perris.
It will not be the first time that participating teams at the NSL Championship combine indoor and outdoor competition. Bad weather was mostly the reason in the past when teams and competitors moved from Skydive DeLand to iFLY Orlando during the November/December events, and the competition sequences were different.
This year, the NSL Outdoor Championship will be hosted by Skydive City, and the indoor event takes place at iFLY Tampa. The 14-foot flying chamber in Tampa allows the NSL Championship to apply a new format that includes a combination of both events.
The 10-round competition draw for indoor and outdoor events both will be identical, and the NSL Championship will not only produce separate indoor and outdoor winners this year. There will also be the overall NSL champions, which will be the best teams after combining the indoor and outdoor results.

The same ten competition sequences will first be applied on Thursday evening at iFLY Tampa and produce the NSL indoor champions of 2017. Then the teams will use the same draw for the NSL Outdoor Championship at Skydive City, beginning on Friday afternoon.
Teams have the option to sign up only for one or the other event, and they can also enter the ultimate 4-way challenge with the combination of indoor and outdoor competition.
It is the first time in history that this format will be applied. The logistics in the area allow the indoor/outdoor combo, as iFLY Tampa and Skydive City are only a short driving distance away from each other. It is a format that could become more relevant in the future, as 4-way indoor and outdoor competition have turned more into separate and specialized events, with an increasing number of teams focusing only on one or the other.
It is only logical that the best 4-way team in the world will be the one that masters both environments better than anybody else. The new NSL Championship format will generate the best all-round 4-way team...
