FSC Remscheid, with its energetic club president Klaus Mathies, himself a former German national competitor back in the early 70's, has been a strong supporter of German 4-way and 8-way teams in the past. X-Ray Remscheid and Final Four Remscheid in 2010 are the most current team names that have appeared on NSL leaderboards.
Club President Klaus Mathies has kept in touch with the NSL News over the years and continues to follow the activities in the sport this way, as well. This year, he also supports the NSL News trip to cover the World Cup 2011 for the worldwide on-line audience.
Exi launched the Deutsche Sky Liga in 2001 and kept it running for several years. He focused more on his job as the DFV President later on, and the league system in Germany eventually faded away. It was somehow replaced by a number of smaller random events that the NSL News has been covering ever since.
The NSL event right before the World Cup is a combination of a casual 4-way competition for the teams that will not compete in Saarlouis and a 4-way Scramble for skydivers who would like to learn more about 4-way. Free engineering and coaching will be provided by the NSL. Competition classes, dive pool and competition draw will be synchronized with the other NSL Network events that weekend.
Klaus Mathies, who is still passionate about skydiving and Formation Skydiving competition, plans to continue the partnership with FSV Merseburg's skydiving operation, establish this event and possibly add more in the future. The dropzone is coveniently located between Leipzig and Halle, little over an hour driving distance southwest of Berlin, the German capitol city.
The skydiving facilities are located on a large airport with a long runway that can easily accommodate a lot of skydiving traffic. The NSL News will report this event before moving to the location of the World Cup 2011 in Saarlouis.
