Did You Know...

... that Out Of The Blue won with a new team record for a single round?

Out Of The Blue at the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020
posted Sep 5th, 2021 - The Dutch national team Out Of The Blue was one of the few teams from the western part of Europe who made the trip to Russia and competed at the FAI Tanay Mondial 2020. Only NMP PCH HayaBusa and the two French teams in 4-way Open and 4-way Women, who together made up the French 8-way team, participated at the event.

Most of the other teams had to limit their focus on their national championships, where travel restrictions and other implications of the corona virus pandemic would not have the same heavy impact on the events.

Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, and Great Britain have completed their national championships, and others are still to come. The British 8-way teams followed up last weekend on the earlier 4-way event, while the seven Dutch 4-way teams had much better weather in Hoogeveen than Out Of The Blue had in Tanay.

The Dutch 4-way competition and the British 8-way competition had something unexpected in common. There were challengers for the respective national teams who put at least some pressure on the favorites. Out Of The Blue and MicroClim8 both eventually won easily with almost exactly the same lead (21 - 23) after all ten rounds. However, the challengers were close enough to steal a few highscores and tie a few rounds.

Back on home turf: Out Of The Blue at the Dutch Nationals
Out Of The Blue came back from Russia with an 18.0 average in the team records, the highest number in the team's history. However, it was only a 6-round meet in Tanay, which included 13 of the 16 random formations. It was a fast draw for the first six rounds, as NMP PCH HayaBusa's 32.2 outdoor average confirms.

The ten rounds at the Dutch national championships used up only 12 random formations, and only Block 14 was not drawn. It was no surprise that Out Of The Blue would not be able to copy the 18.0 average of the world meet. However, the 29-pointer in Round 7 (D,L,M,9) was still a new team record for a single round.

Runner-up Chaotic Motion was launched when Out Of The Blue put their current lineup together for the 2019 season. Danny Dörfel and Rick Verbunt are both former OOTB members, Danny Dörfel with the original lineup in 2017, Rick Verbunt in 2018. They invited Sofia van der Vlist and Manuel Klinis for their new team, with Fanny Hopmans on camera.

Chaotic Motion and the new Out Of The Blue lineup competed with and against each other for the first time at the Tomscat Trophy 2019, and then again a few months later at the national championships. Chaotic Motion have slightly reduced the distance to the national team in the two years since the last outdoor duel.
