posted Apr 30th, 2018 - A total of 25 teams posted their scores for the ten rounds of the World Tunnel League's April competition. Once again, the first six sequences fit into 12+ flying chambers, and seven teams were done after Round 6.

HF Flying Circus and HF Bad Boys took the first two places for the Czech Republic, and the Skydive University team from Slovakia have established themselves behind the best Czech teams on the AAA Class leaderboard and ahead of the U.S. teams so far.

All four leaderboards required adjustments due to the different number of rounds, even though the rankings did not change in the Rookie Class. The all-female junior lineup of the HF Dragonflies posted a new team record average at the WTL meet earlier this month (9.6) which they left behind in the dust just a few weeks later.

Viki Hlavnickova, Týna Jílkova, Lada Jirkovska and Kaja Svejdová finished with a 17.3 average in the same category after the ten rounds of the Czech Open Indoor Nationals last weekend. The second Czech team in the WTL Rookie Class competition, High Five, did not attend the national indoor championships.

The rankings neither changed in the A Class after the adjustment, even though the Czech Elements were much closer after six rounds than the averages indicate after Round 10.

Team Chet eliminated the 6-point deficit with the fast sequence of only random formations in Round 5 and won the last round and the 2nd place by two points.

Another U.S. team placed 2nd on the AA Class leaderboard. 2Pairs even managed to tie a round with the Czech winner, 4-way junior team HF Cubs, who have an all-female lineup, as well.

The HF Cubs completed 28 rounds of 4-way competition in April alone. First they posted the 19.6 average that won the AA Class competition of the World Tunnel League. Then they traveled to Norway and won the silver medals in 4-way Junior at the FAI European Indoor Championship 2018. A week later, they won the Czech indoor gold medals in the AA Class.

One of the three SCZ ZEUS Evolve lineups fended off two Czech teams in the AA Class, Mirek Team and Mimozemky, while ErrSpeed and 4Tune fell behind them after the 6-round adjustment.

The 2.0 version of the Florida Kickers had a tight battle with DeLoreans for the first U.S. spot behind the two Czech and one Slovakian teams.

The Kickers completed all ten rounds in the 14-foot flying chamber in Tampa, while DeLoreans were done after Round 6. They switched their ranking slots after the 6-round adjustment, as well.

Cali4nia Raptors, silver medalists at the USPA Nationals 2017, and DeLoreans crossed each other for the first time on the same World Tunnel League leaderboard.

The Raptors had posted a AAA Class 18.3 average in Northern California in December 2017, and DeLoreans followed up with almost exactly the same (18.2) in February 2018.

Both teams now shared the April leaderboard in the AAA Class, and DeLoreans won the internal Californian duel.
