posted Jun 24th, 2020 - One more team added scores and videos to the current NSL outdoor leaderboard for the month of June. It was ZEAL of the Florida Skydiving League who made the AA Class competition even more interesting. Teams from California, Arizona and Florida created a colorful mixture from across the United States after a corona crisis restart for dropzones and windtunnels in parts of the country.

It is also a very competitive AA Class leaderboard, as all four participating teams were close to each other, and three of them posted highscores for single rounds. Only the Rave Monsters from Perris finished without a highscore, even though they outscored the team in 1st place, Perrisites, in Round 4 and tied the second team from Perris at Skydive Elsinore in Round 6.

FSL team ZEAL split the duo from Skydive Perris and finished only three points behind the AA Class leader. The June leaderboard is still open until the end of the month, as the format for NSL competition was recently adjusted due to the corona virus crisis. The NSL News had announced the change on June 14th.

ZEAL is one of the Skydive City home teams who will take advantage of the easier logistics for teams from Florida this year. USPA recently confirmed that the preparations for this year's national championships are in full swing at Skydive City.

The ZEAL members are new to 4-way competition, after they collected their first experiences at the Indoor Cloud League and World Tunnel League events in Florida. Annemarie Hammond and Ron Tabor have been regulars at recreational skydiving activities in Z-Hills before they decided to try 4-way training and competition. Annemarie Hammond is still a load organizer for Skydive City when she is not training with ZEAL.

Kim Lewis is from the Tampa area and has been preparing herself for 4-way training at the indoor events, while Nancie Smith is visiting from Sebastian for ZEAL training and competition. FSL Director Amer Kassas connected the ZEAL members with each other at his events, and the team eventually decided to compete at the USPA Nationals.

Skydive City was supposed to host the Shamrock Showdown this year, which had to be canceled despite a world-class field planning to compete at the event. The Shamrock Showdown would have been the outdoor test for the host of the USPA Nationals. Hopefully, some of the teams will return to Florida for the major event in November, where the ZEAL members will attend their first national championship competition. The Shamrock Showdown is rescheduled for March 2021.

The change of the format for regular NSL competition is also bringing the first identical competition draw to indoor and outdoor teams in June. However, there will be no direct comparison for any teams this month, even though it will be very interesting when this is happening on a more regular basis. Only the NSL Championship has been applying the same competition draw for indoor and outdoor competition on the same event weekend.

The June leaderboards are showing identical sequences, while none of the teams attended indoor and outdoor events both. The Czech teams have separate time periods for indoor and outdoor competition, even though some of the AAA Class teams perform in both meet environments, and the Czech indoor season is over. The teams continue to post Indoor Cloud League scores throughout the whole year though, while the numerous Czech junior teams are naturally limited to indoor training and competition only.

The teams from Finland are attending exclusively indoor events, even though they all consist of current and former outdoor competitors.

ZEAL and the SCSL and ASL teams could still add indoor scores to the June leaderboard for a direct comparison. However, they will be running out of time very soon. There is barely one week left for any teams to use the June sequences, either for indoor or outdoor competition.
