The plan to include international teams via the internet was developed when travel restrictions and other implications of the corona virus crisis made it impossible for teams from overseas to visit the event site of the Shamrock Showdown. As a result, the format of the NSL Cloud Mondial 2020 became the template for the Shamrock Showdown Cloud.
The extension of the time-frame for the completion of all ten rounds was added after the live part of the Shamrock Showdown was over. Especially the 8-way competition then continued soon when the French national team and the Qatar Falcons submitted their videos and made the 8-way leaderboard very lively and exciting.
The missing six rounds of all teams will be judged and posted after the deadline on April 21st, and the results of the Russian FAI world cup champions of 2019 from Tanay are highly anticipated. The Qatar Falcons added their scores and videos for the first four rounds together with France.

Qatar's 8-way team restarted earlier with coach Jeremie Rollett, and the ten Shamrock Showdown rounds were a part of their restart agenda. Both Qatar national teams in 4-way and 8-way are aiming at medal positions at the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020 in August this year.
In fact, the Qatar Falcons are the reigning FAI bronze medalists after placing 3rd at the FAI Outdoor World Meet 2018 in Australia. France did not have an 8-way team in Australia, and the Qatar Falcons are facing a significantly more challenging situation this year to get to a medal position.
The French 8-way team is leading the world-class 8-way field after four rounds. The Qatar Falcons have lifted their 17+ average level to 19+ in the meantime, and they hope to keep the progression going until Round 1 at the world meet.

Qatar's national 4-way team restarted with outdoor training recently in Empuriabrava, Spain. They also included the Shamrock Showdown rounds randomly in their training schedule. Scores and videos will be posted together with all new footage after the April 21 deadline.
The scores on the 4-way leaderboard will also define the starting point of the home stretch towards the outdoor world meet in Tanay. Arizona Airspeed have set a very high standard with the four posted rounds on the Shamrock Showdown leaderboard. Airspeed will not compete in Tanay, however, no other team in the world will score much higher, including the NMP PCH HayaBusa world champions from Belgium.
The Qatar Tigers and any other FAI medal contenders can use the Airspeed standards to measure their positions four months before Round 1 in Russia.
