posted Apr 12th, 2023 - The NSL News covered the 4-way competition of Weembi Lille's FS Cup with yesterday's update. The story mentioned the "obligatory" Super Sequence (O,A,E,M,K) in Round 10, which boosted not only NFTO's meet average.

Julien Degen, former 4-way and 8-way world champion who is one of the operators of the Weembi Lille windtunnel, informed the NSL News that the sequence in Round 10 was not manufactured and "obligatory". It was pure coincidence that it was randomly drawn for Round 10.

He said that a draw-generating program was responsible for the ten rounds, and a judge of the French skydiving federation pushed the button to create the draw for the indoor competition.

The unusual coincidence caused the NSL News assumption that the competition at Weembi Lille was following the same strategy that has been used for the Weembinamic competition, where Round 10 is in fact a manufactured Super Sequence in both events, 4-way and 8-way.

Julien Degen confirmed that Weembi Lille will continue to offer a Super Sequence for Round 10 at the Weembinamic in November this year. The competition format of the Weembinamic, with elimination rounds after a few opening rounds, does not allow a Super Sequence the same impact on the leaderboard as it may have in a traditional 10-round meet.

The Super Sequence in Round 10 of the Weembinamic is only the last word in a 2-round elimination duel at the very end of the competition.

Julien Degen has published the Super Sequence for the Weembinamic already by now, and the participating teams can train it as much as they decide to do. Last November, the British team in 6th place, Apex Weembi, gave the Super Sequence apparently enough attention in training and posted the highscore for Round 10.

Julien Degen said that the 4-way Super Sequence this year is a copy of Round 6 (Q,M,F,C,N) at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2018. The 8-way teams at the Weembinamic 2023 will perform Round 6 (M,Q,J,16) of the FAI Indoor World Championship 2019.

The indoor world championship of 2019 at Weembi Lille included an unofficial 8-way event, as the 16-foot flying chamber allowed the execution of almost the complete dive pool. In fact, the recent changes of the 8-way dive pool are now allowing 8-way teams to perform all 16 random formations and 22 blocks without any modifications in 16-foot flying chambers.

The Weembi FS Cup included an 8-way competition, as well, and the teams had the second opportunity to perform the new dive pool. The Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2023 was the first opportunity after the changes, and many of the 8-way competitors at Weembi Lille had also visited Paraclete XP in February this year.

The winning team at Weembi Lille, Qatar Falcons, were one of the participating teams at Paraclete XP. The silver medalists at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022 had finished in 2nd plcae behind XPGK's new lineup in February and finished an average-point higher at Weembi Lille.

Two very interesting international lineups battled for the 2nd place, and the NSL News will follow up with more details.
