Southwest Skydiving League teams were the big winners of the meet weekend on July 30, 2005, and won each competition class after handicap, except the Rookie Class. The new Austrian national team FILA posted the highest average after four rounds (18.0), however, the 3-round performance of Paraclete in the Carolina Skydiving League set the AAA Class limit for the NSL SkyVenture Orlando Competition that weekend.
Eight teams of the Southwest Skydiving League competed in the AAA Class, six of these eight teams took the first six places after handicap. The all-female team Element Perris with Celeste Campo (Tail), Cass Emery (Outside Center), Marie Harrell (Point), Brianne Thompson (Inside Center) and Bryan Harrell on video, ended up on top of the SSL pack after the first three rounds.
This round was also the highlight for Element Perris in the internal competition with the other all-female top contender, Fastrax Select. Element Perris won six points over Fastrax Select in this one round. However, Fastrax Select fought back and still managed to win this race by one single point after six rounds. Both teams will meet again next Monday in Perris.
The July 30 meet weekend also included the breakthrough competition for AA Class team Elsinore Equinox. The NSL News covered the outstanding performance already with the NSL News story on August 9. The Equinox scoring progression of the 2005 season (8.2 - 9.7 - 10.5 - 11.0 - 13.2) peaked on the July 30 meet weekend, and there was no chance for any other AA Class team to keep up with the Equinox scores after handicap.
The busiest NSL team of the Rookie Class is Raeford Skycatz of the Carolina Skydiving League. The July meet was the fourth competition for the Skycatz, and the team also attended the NSL Playoffs 2005 in August. The efforts will be rewarded with a trip to the NSL Championship at SkyQuest 2005 in November, sponsored by CASL supporter Paraclete. The Skycatz won the Rookie Class competition on July 30 before handicap with a 10.0 average and also walked away with ten minutes of free tunnel time after the first place in the NSL SkyVenture Orlando Competition.

Team America with Matt Jones, Georges Lezan, John McDonnell and Johnny Tubbs showed the best progression and finished with a new team record average of 6.5 after six rounds. The team record came along with the first place in the NSL SkyVenture Orlando Competition, even though the TSL's Wild Wings came close.
