posted Jul 3rd, 2023 - The NSL News reported on June 24th that German teams won all four NSL categories on the international leaderboards of the June 17 weekend. The video with all competition rounds of the AAA Class winner, Meltemi Oceanside Illertissen. Germany's national team in 4-way Women, was added to the story-line a day later.

NSL-TV now follows up with the competition videos of two more category winners on the same weekend, AA Class team Tinder, and one of the many Paranodon Futura teams, the winner of the A Class competition that weekend.

AA Class team Tinder won the category with the busiest leaderboard of seven teams from three different countries. Futura's AA Class lineup and the Czech Skywalkers Junior won and tied a few of the rounds, while Tinder still created a safe 15-point lead, after posting the highscores consecutively for the last five sequences.

Tinder was a new team at the event and with their first scores in a competition, even though the team members were not new to 4-way competition. In fact, only one of the seven teams on the AA Class leaderboard had competed once under the same team name before. 4 Brain came back to the Paranodon Cup after their 4-way debut last year.

Tinder at the Paranodon Cup 2023

Paranodon's Futura 6 lineup was not new to 4-way competition, and the NSL News explained the special family and team-mate relationships in the lineup with the earlier update. The Trögele family began with their 4-way project in 2019, even though the lineups were in motion, and father Andreas Trögele was still on camera at that time, for the Airbus teams and for his son Julius' Futura lineup.

The NSL News then reported on March 22nd that "former Airbus videographer Andreas Trögele has joined his son Julius in 4-way action". Paranodon Futura 6 had won the A Class competition of the German Indoor Nationals, with Andreas Trögele in the point slot.

Former Airbus 4-way and 8-way member Olaf Biedermann helped out at the Paranodon Cup last month, and the complete lineup will be back for the national outdoor championship at the end of August/beginning of September.

There is actually a third Trögele generation heavily involved in the Paranodon and Formation Skydiving activities. Robert Trögele operates the Paranodon skydiving center in Illertissen, and he is Germany's current national coach. He has competed with the Paranodon senior lineups in the past and hardly missed a meet opportunity. However, he was not in this year's SOS lineup, where Jupp Kampmann took his slot. The Swiss guests of Air-W won this year's duel with the Paranodon senior lineup for the second time.
