Did you know that Jeremie Rollett and Amelie Tirman were not surprised by the Golden Knights performance? posted: Sep 10th, 2012 The NSL News goes back to the aftermath of the World Cup 2012 and the competition in the female 4way category.
It was an unusual situation with the French national team this time. The NSL News has always compared the French female scores with the Open Class leaderboard, which offered more competitive scores whenever Aerodyne Deep Blue and then the Defenders attended bigger meets in the female category.
It was a reversed situation at the World Cup in Prostejov. The Aerodyne Deep Blue Defenders had signed up for the Open Class event. There was no lack of competition for the French team, who... (more)

Did you know that Ex3mo won the Italian Nationals just before traveling to Prostejov? posted: Sep 7th, 2012 The situation of the Italian national 4way team Ex3mo was similar to several other national teams prior to the World Cup 2012. The national championships in Italy took place just a week before the next competition.
Most of the other European national teams did not make the extra trip to the Czech Republic. Only Ex3mo and Satori squeezed the additional competition into the tight 2012 schedule.

Ex3mo won the national 4way title on 23... (more)
