posted Dec 12th, 2019 - The NSL News story on November 13th reported that the Czech HF Cubs had joined French Weembi Girls in France and NFTO in Great Britain as the strongest 4-way teams in their respective countries, while they are actually competing in the 4-way Women category at FAI/IPC events.

There was recently a 4th 4-way Women team joining the group of female 4-way competitors who outscore their male opponents in domestic 4-way competition. No Mercy, Poland's national team in 4-way Women, took the 3rd place at this year's Flyspot Polish Open behind HF Cubs and Russian Thunder, and they outscored the national team in 4-way Open, Flyspot Sky4Four, with a 21.9 average.

Flyspot Sky4Four ended up tied with Flyspot One2Three, another Polish all-female team, in 4th place. The three AAA Class teams from Poland were separated by only seven points at the end of the 10-round meet in Katowice. Flyspot Sky4Four and Flyspot One2Three did not have to break their tie, as they did not finish in medal positions.

Two AA Class teams needed an extra round, when MAD Team and HF Dragonflies were together in 2nd place after Round 10. The AA competition was dominated by another Polish all-female team, Ladies Power, who have shared their progression with MAD Team through the first three NSL categories (RRR - A - AA) since 2017.

It was not the first time that No Mercy finished ahead of Flyspot Sky4Four. In fact, both teams have been taking turns on the top of Poland's internal and domestic leaderboards since they launched their team projects in 2014.

Sky4Four, with Poland's 4-way godfather Zbigniew Kordzikowski in the lineup, was ahead in 4-way outdoor competition in 2014 and 2015. No Mercy caught up and took the top spot when indoor training and competition became very popular in Poland (2016/2017).

Sky4Four turned the table this year and won the three duels in March, April and May, including the FAI Indoor World Meet, where the teams competed in their FAI/IPC categories, No Mercy in 4-way Women, Flyspot Sky4Four in 4-way Open.

The Polish national team in 4-way Open did not have the complete lineup available when it was time for the Flyspot Polish Open in November. Italy's Amnesya member Chiara Brunetti replaced Maciej Godlewski last month, while No Mercy showed up with the complete and well trained lineup for their last competition with coach Joey Jones.

He leaves No Mercy after posting a new national record for a single round for the Super Sequence in Round 4 and taking back the 4-way top spot in Poland.

Flyspot Sky4Four and No Mercy at the FAI Indoor World Meet 2019

---

Flyspot One2Three competed with a different lineup, as well. Zaneta Olczyk replaced Anna Ciechonska at the Polish Indoor Open. Zaneta Olczyk trained and competed with her family and the Olczyk Flyspot Team in the past. The Olczyk team did not come back this year, and Zaneta Olczyk attended her first AAA Class competition with Flyspot One2Three.

Zaneta Olczyk is also an alternate for Flyspot Sky4Four, who filled the open slot at the Polish Indoor Open with Chiara Brunetti.

Joey Jones forwards his No Mercy coaching job to Marco Arrigo for the world meet season next year. No Mercy is an indoor and outdoor team and represented Poland at the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2016, as well as at the FAI Indoor World Meet 2019. Marco Arrigo will prepare No Mercy for the 4-way Women competition at the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2020 in Tanay, Russia.

No Mercy's current top position in Poland could be temporary until Flyspot Sky4Four is back together with the complete lineup. There are more than enough indoor meets in the winter season for new opportunities. In the meantime, No Mercy has the top spot in Poland.
