posted Oct 16th, 2020 - The Texas Skydiving League was probably the most successful organization in Formation Skydiving competition in mastering the 2020 season. TSL Director Scott Latinis managed to run the three events that he had planned for this year, despite the problems that the corona virus pandemic brought to the sport.

He launched the 2020 season significantly later than usual, and the participation was still only slightly lower. He adjusted the schedule when the implications of the pandemic became obvious and started with the Spaceland San Marcos Showdown in August. He followed up with the Texas part of the Skydiving Nationals 2.0 a month later and concluded the TSL 2020 season with the Spaceland Dallas Super Cup last month.

Scott Latinis provided more details from the last TSL competition at Skydive Spaceland Dallas: "The final meet of the 2020 Texas Skydiving League season was the Super Cup on October 10th at Spaceland Dallas. The Dallas Super Cup is one of the longest running FS competitions in the country, running annually since 1994.

"The unique aspect of the Super Cup is that it not only has several categories for FS 4-way teams, it also has a FS 2-way Rookie Class event, in order to provide an opportunity for jumpers new to FS to get a taste of competition. Nine teams, seven in 4-way and two in 2-way, competed in this year's meet.

"The registration showed two AAA teams, one AA team, one A team, and three Rookie teams. In the spirit of competition, AA team YODO moved up to AAA, and one of the Rookie teams, Flying Unicorn Circus In Training, moved up to the A Class, thus ensuring competition in every category.

"Texas Skydiving League rules allow teams to share videographers. This can cause challenges when manifesting teams, but the awesome ladies in manifest took it all in stride. The competition briefing commenced, competitors were reminded of the Spaceland Dallas COVID protocol, the draw was handed out and the meet was set to start.

"Unfortunately, a rather impressive layer of fog had settled in. After a couple hours, the sun had decided the fog had overstayed its welcome and 'poof!', it was gone and Competition Load 1 was on a call. Spaceland Dallas lived up to its reputation as a well-oiled machine, and all six rounds were completed well before sundown.

"TSL gold medals went to AAA Class winner EZO Momongas, A Class winner I'd Grip That, Rookie Class winner Mom X S3. David Garcia and Tom Rhines won the 2-way competition (Snap, Crackle and Pop), with Alan Levy on camera.

Scott Latinis also said that the Dallas Super Cup was the "send-off" meet for Erin and Zach Lewis:

"Erin has been an energetic, active FS 4-way competitor and a role model for Texas female skydivers for many years.

"Zach is a much respected, well known FS videographer, who has shot everything from FS 4-way up to Dallas Disturbance 16-way at the USPA Nationals to big-ways all over the world including Thailand and China. They will be moving to Hong Kong soon. We will miss them, and we look forward to their not-soon-enough return to Texas."

The Texas Skydiving League is also still connecting the TSL league meets by accumulating the results throughout the competition season. Scott Latinis did the math and announced the TSL 2020 winners:

"Congratulations to Texas Skydiving League season champions: Spaceland Toxic (AA Class), Spaceland Thunder (A Class), Mom X S3 (Rookie Class)."
