News Article Did you know that French national 4-way members had an 8-way team at the Weembinamic?
posted: Nov 27th, 2023 The competition between ISR FireFlash and Weembi Unicorns ended up with a 2-point difference on the traditional leaderboard, which is close enough for a closer look. However, it was only caused by the weak FireFlash start, as Sven Ibens explained live a few days ago. The Belgian team won the other eight rounds over Unicorns by a total of 14 points and never looked back. Any 2-point difference at the end of a competition includes an interesting meet story, even though this one was not really detected during the Weembinamic action, as the competition format features elimination duels, where a...

posted: Nov 26th, 2023 Sven Ibens recapitulated his live experiences with ISR FireFlash at the Weembinamic 2023 during the recent NSL Live Talk. He mentioned that his team would be back in 4-way action just a day after the interview, less than a week after the completion of the previous competition at Weembi Lille in France.

News Article Did you know that Veloce QRF upset the order of the Weembinamic 8-way leaderboard?
posted: Nov 23rd, 2023 The outcome of the 8-way competition at the Weembinamic 2023 featured the upset of the traditional leaderboard, after it happened in 4-way at the Weembinamic 2022. The NSL News pointed out with yesterday's 4-way update that the same three 4-way teams were on the podium in the same order that the traditional leaderboard was showing. The situation in 8-way was still the same as it was in 4-way though, as the winners had no serious opposition with their significant leads on the traditional leaderboard after all ten rounds. They were logically also not eliminated in any of the three 2-round duels.... (more)

The remaining six rounds were elimination duels between two or three teams following a similar bracket system as the one at the NSL Championship 2000. The traditional leaderboard of the first four rounds becomes history when the scores are wiped out after Round 4 at the Weembinamic, as well as the scores of each of the next two rounds in the elimination duels, at least for the continuation in the...
