Anonymous - Viserion at the British Indoor Nationals 2023

---

NFTO with their best indoor lineup, who had also posted the 28.8 team record indoor average at the FS Weembi Cup 2023 in April, were not in reach for the other British teams at the national indoor championship. Only silver and bronze medals were available for the rest of the AAA Class field.

Even Weembi Unicorns as a guest team were far ahead of the next British medal contenders. Anonymous (2nd) and Viserion (3rd) did not have to look back either, as the team in 4th place on the British leaderboard, CHuMMs, finished 56 points behind bronze medalist Viserion.

Finally, even Anonymous and Viserion maintained a respectful distance to each other. Anonymous gave away only Round 4 after three point deductions, and both teams also tied the score for Round 9. Anonymous had an 11-point lead after Round 10.

Anonymous in 2nd place on the British AAA Class leaderboard was a colorful combination of highly experienced 4-way competitors. Sarah Ashworth in the point slot and tail James Woods trained and competed together for Chimera between 2017 and 2022. Chimera did not continue after the highly contested 5th place at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022, as the NSL News reported on 24 January 2022.
