Did you know that Elsinore Vengeance competed with an alternate on August 19? posted: Aug 30th, 2006 The NSL News catches up with a competition that took place while the NSL office was still on the road.

Did you know that Sky Service completed a very successful Czech 2006 season? posted: Aug 29th, 2006 Yesterday's NSL News covered one of the two international meets last weekend, while an update from New England was expected to arrive at any time. The Dutch League's scoreboard needed an update with some missing scores, as well, which have now been added. In the meantime, word came from New England, and the meet was weathered out, due to a low ceiling of less than 5,000 feet for the whole weekend.
