The most popular category this time was the AA Class with three teams: Suboptimal, Mideast Skydiving League team Necessary Equipment and JetStream Tango moving up from the A Class in preparation for USPA's Intermediate Class. Despite their third roster in as many meets, Suboptimal continued to control this category by matching their scores of the July meet with an 8-point average, including a nice 9-pointer in Round 2 (A-22-E).
The race between Necessary Equipment, with Rhythm member Rob Radez filling in for the missing Point, and JetStream for second place was very close with the two teams being tied through five rounds. Necessary Equipment outscored Jetstream 6 to 4 in the tough sequence of Round 6 to beat out the SDC team. There were two sets of trophies awarded in the AA Class for the season, as well. Suboptimal took gold with the most meet league points (8), after collecting one point for each meet, plus one point for each outscored team. The absent Pieces of 8 won silver.

Somewhat oddly, the season trophies for first and second place in this category went to two teams that did not compete at the second August meet. JetStream Tango (1st) had moved up and competed in the AA Class and the absent SDC Flying Fish (2nd).
The A Class teams made a sweep of the two MWSL season prizes as well. The Fish chose 15 minutes of tunnel training with Rhythm at Paraclete XP, while the JetStream members are still deciding on their prize.
And for the third time in four meets, the Archway ArchRivals were the only team representing our Rookie Class. The ArchRivals scored their highest round ever, the 9-pointer in Round 4, and finished with a 5.0 average. The ArchRivals, along with JetStream Tango, was one of the two teams competing in all four MWSL meets this season. The team from Archway took home the first place trophies for the MWSL Rookie Class team of 2010.
It was another successful season for the Midwest Skydiving League with strong participation, impressive scores and four fun meets. Our Meet 3 witnessed SDC Rhythm XP’s first 20+ average score at a meet completing all scheduled rounds, the highest ever for a MWSL team. The SDC Furies competed for their 8th straight season, as did Just4Fun. And we used the high tech CamScore system for the first time ever. Thanks to everyone who supported the league this season and good luck to those who will be competing at Skydive Chicago later this month. I hope to see you all back in 2011.
