Did you know that the infringement was in the inter of the second Block 17? posted: Mar 31st, 2005 Yesterday's NSL News story mentioned that there would be a new judging quiz and case study coming up. DeLand Majik lost a point due to an infringement related to Block 17 (Danish T - Murphy) in round two. There has not been too much discussion of the topic in the NSL Forum yet. However, the "where and what" of the infringement has not been revealed yet.

Round two of the DeLand meet has been uploaded and can now be viewed.

Did you know that the difference between 20 and 22 average are the mistakes you make? posted: Mar 29th, 2005 The Golden Knights competed at the SSL Valentine's Meet 2005 in February and then at the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2005 in March.

The Golden Knights began a spring training camp of two weeks with the competition in DeLand. All team members visited at the NSL office a few days after the event when the weather did not allow any training activities at the drop zone around the corner.

Did you know that round six of the SSL Valentine's Meet 2005 completes the NSL-TV coverage? posted: Mar 28th, 2005 Round six of the SSL Valentine's Meet 2005 completes the NSL-TV coverage of this event. This last round offers one last opportunity for now to review Arizona Airspeed's two line-ups competing at the first competition of the 2005 season in February. Airspeed Odyssey and Velocity did not travel to Perris for the March meet of the Southwest Skydiving League. However, the SSL moves back to Eloy, Arizona, in April. There is a very good chance that new Airspeed 4-way footage will then become available for NSL-TV and the valued audience. (more)
