This weekend he was back with indoor competition, and the teams were very eager to put some scores on a 4-way leaderboard. In fact, the total number of 13 teams at iFLY Sao Paulo was a new record for participation at an indoor competition in Brazil.
It was the first time that André Ferraz offered the Rookie Class at his indoor meets, and four teams in this category helped to generate the new record participation.
André Ferraz is the organizer of the Brazilian Tunnel League, and he is also the team founder and only original member of the Brazilian indoor and outdoor champions, Optimum CTR. The record participation must have been inspiring for him and his team mates, as they also finished the eight meet rounds with a 25.1 team record average. It is the highest result of a 4-way team in the country's history and significantly higher than the previous 22.8 that Optimum CTR posted three times between December 2018 and June 2019.

All three leagues of the World Tunnel League will eventually run their events in the same months during the coming indoor season, which will then create new and very exciting international indoor leaderboards.
However, the NSL Cloud Mondial 2020 will first conclude the 2020 outdoor season before the main focus switches to indoor competition.
Organizer and Optimum CTR member André Ferraz did not only generate new record participation and the highest 8-round meet average with his team last week
He and his indoor team mate Juliana Sé were also player-coaching a second team, Optimum Red, through the same 8-round competition at iFLY Sao Paulo. with Debora Schroder and Augusto Rosa in the lineup.
André Ferraz, George Narita, Alisson Vargas and Jorge Neto train and compete together at outdoor events. Juliana Sé replaces Jorge Neto, the newest CTR member, for indoor training and competition, which allows him to focus on catching up with his new and highly experienced outdoor team mates.
Last and not least, Optimum CTR members are also helping other Brazilian 4-way competitors with player-coaching lineups, as André Ferraz and Juliana Sé did with Optimum Red at the recent competition. The Red lineup was even close to CTR in a few rounds (6 and 8) and battled with Go Fly for the 3rd place. So Pressao finished with a new team record average, as well. So Pressao and Go Fly both had finished ahead of a different Optimum CTR lineup at the November 2019 competition.
The next indoor meet of the Brazilian Tunnel League will be held right before the outdoor championship in November (22 - 27).
