Did you know that the Russian 8way Nationals were over after Round 5? posted: Sep 29th, 2012 The NSL News reported the 4way scores of the Russian Nationals 2012 yesterday and now follows up with the 8way scores.
National team Sky Panthers Barkli had no serious competition in Tanay, Siberia, and the meet was concluded after five rounds. The scores are not really reflecting the current potential of the Russian 8way team for many reasons that go beyond the actual training and competition.

Did you know that Sky Panthers Barkli won the Russian Nationals in Siberia? posted: Sep 28th, 2012 The Russian Nationals 2012 are over now and attracted seven Open Class teams to Siberia this year.

The Dallas Super Cup concluded the 2012 season in a fashionable way, as the competition draw for last weekend included a Super Sequence in Round 4 (J-F-E-Q-N).
