In fact, it is almost impossible to cover every little detail of so many teams that get together at the same time.
NSL-TV has not uploaded too many of the 4-way Open Class rounds of the top teams so far. The story on 13 October 2009 included the videos of Round 1 of the top teams, the next story on the same day Round 2.
A video of the action around the world record Round 6 was also uploaded with the story on 14 October 2009. This video clip of the world record show included the actual... (more)
Did you know that the most exciting battle took place in the Advanced Class? posted: Nov 2nd, 2009 The closest and most exciting competition of the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships took place in a category that is used to be in the second row.

Did you know that Australia's Black team has four months to get ready? posted: Nov 1st, 2009 The Scandinavian fans have spoken, Denmark's national 4-way team Voluntas is considered the strongest Scandinavian team of the 2009 season.
The NSL News story on 30 October 2009 had offered a poll, which turned out as a race between Voluntas and Finland's Pro Team. The 2010 season will bring the World Championship of Formation Skydiving in Russia, and the same teams with the same lineups will most likely battle it out again for the unofficial Scandinavian championship, this time hopefully all four teams at the same time and at the same place.
Only Norway will have a new national 4-way lineup,... (more)

The story mentioned at the end that there was still an open question, as Denmarks national 4-way team Voluntas did not attend the competition in the Czech Republic and was planning to compete at the 2009 USPA National Skydiving Championships.
The Voluntas results at the USPA Nationals 2009 and the other Scandinavian scores at the World Cup 2009 do not really allow an accurate comparison, as the competition... (more)
