Did you know that the best Indoor Cloud League teams could meet each other at world meets or world cups? posted: Oct 11th, 2020 It's sad but true that the Indoor Cloud League leaderboard of the whole year is reflecting quite accurately how the corona virus crisis has been impacting indoor and outdoor events in Formation Skydiving competition.
The beginning of the year was very promising on both leaderboards, where a total of ten different ICL teams introduced 4-way training and competition to new participants at the events and posted scores and videos.

Did you know that Skydive City team ZEAL continue with or without national championships on home turf? posted: Sep 4th, 2020 It has been a very difficult year for teams and Formation Skydiving competition events so far. The corona virus crisis had its big impact just as much on the skydiving world as it had on the economy, and many business operations will not even be able to resume.
The impact on skydiving competition cannot be measured yet, as most of the regular events had to be canceled in 2020. The handful of 4-way competitions that have taken place had to be small, due to restrictions and caution of potential participants. Even the scheduled and coming online events will most likely have lower participation... (more)
