The NSL News followed up with the complete NSL Power Rankings in 4-way Open for the same event when the list of all currently registered countries was taken into account. The field of teams who might be in the race for the 4th place and the unofficial amateur world champion title had grown from five to eight by then.
One of the teams in this group of the world's top level in 4-way Open behind the medal contenders were the Czech Skywalkers Junior. The very young Czech national team in 4-way indoor and outdoor have already completed six 10-round meets since the beginning of the 2024/2025 winter season, and the increasing scoring level earned the slot in this special group of 4-way teams at Paraclete XP next month. The Czech teams were back in action again last week at the Hurricane Factory Prague, and Skywalkers Junior missed the new ten rounds this time. Illness and travel came in their way for the March meet of the Czech Tunnel League. Team member Filip Lukavec visited Florida for the PIA Symposium, together with Skywalkers Junior's videographer Jakub Klapka.

The competition draw was on the slower side last week, and there was only one of the six AAA Class teams who managed to finish with a new team record average. The Helikopters 4-way juniors entered the AAA Class world with the beginning of the 2024/2025 season in November last year, after their first year in the Rookie Class (RRR) of 2022/2023.
They skipped the A Class and spent the 2023/2024 winter season with seven 10-round meets in the AA Class before taking on the complete FAI/ISC dive pool in November 2024. They have already passed the M Team seniors and are on their way to catch up with the next senior teams on the AAA Class leaderboard, 4 V Tunelu and then Kiss My Grips. The Panthers have advanced even quicker than the Helikopters, and they are the internal target for the youngest Czech AAA Class team. They usually have Skywalkers Junior as the role model right in front of their eyes when they all train and compete together at the Hurricane Factory. Skywalkers Junior have no Czech teams ahead of them at the moment and orient themselves by following the best 4-way teams in the world as their own targets. However, Panthers and Helikopters both will probably try to follow the best example they can get in the Czech Republic.
