posted Apr 7th, 2010 - It is time for Round 1 at the World Challenge 2010. The NSL News story on 3 April 2010 already provided video footage of the meet opener. It was captured by the NSL-TV camera live from inside the tunnel chamber and showed some of the teams up close and in full action.

By the way, the videos have not been available for Apple users, as many NSL News visitors mentioned. There was and is not a quick embedding solution, as the two computer giants still try to make it complicated for their "opponents" and the NSL is limited with technical and logistical resources.

However, there is a link now on the headlines of the videos that offers the Apple fans the chance to go directly to the source by using the actual URL of the video. Any NSL-TV videos will be shown this way until a better solution is available.

World Challenge 2010 - Round 1 - Top 11 in final ranking order

The new round of World Challenge videos now features the teams' performance from the judging perspective. The show begins with the Top 11 teams in the AAA Class. Videos of other teams will be added later when the NSL News covers other topics and profiles.

The number of 11 teams has a very easy explanation. Kaktus Hunter in 11th place did not really make the Top 10 of the World Challenge this year. However, the battle for the 10th place was a nail-biter between the Russian team and SDC Rhythm XP, which ended with a 1-point victory for the US team.

Kaktus Hunter deserved to be featured together with the other top teams. In fact, it was also the infamous Round 2 that was very costly not only for Arizona Airspeed. Kaktus Hunter lost 11 points to Rhythm only in this round and never gave up another one, except Round 10. Enjoy the next World Challenge 2010 show.
