Did you know that the official ESL meet story explains the new scoring system?
posted: Sep 14th, 2009 Richard Head, Phobia's Center Outside, eventually provided the official meet report of the ESL Championship 2009 for the NSL News. His own team just tied the attendance record of the 2009 season with the 7th competition last weekend. The Czech team Fast Arrows held this title alone so far. Phobia competed at the FAI World Cup 2009 in the Czech Republic where AA Class team Fast Arrows did not have a matching category. Phobia saved the best for last a week after the World Cup and posted the team's highest meet average of the 2009 season at the ESL Championship 2009. The 14.3 average last weekend... (more)

Did you know that the Netherlands actually won the ESL Spirit 2009?
posted: Sep 13th, 2009 The ESL Championship 2009 at Skydive Hibaldstow, United Kingdom, was already completed with all ten rounds in all four competition classes on Saturday. The NSL News reported during the coverage that the 4-way delegation from the United Kingdom was seemingly running away with the ESL Spirit, the popular trophy of the European Skydiving League. Mostly the scores of the British AAA Class teams, with Satori on the very top, contributed to the clear lead after Round 8, according to the posted ESL rules. The final scores after ten rounds had the United Kingdom with its four highest scoring teams... (more)

Did you know that the Dutch teams are closer to the UK teams after Round 8?
posted: Sep 12th, 2009 Things have changed a little bit at the ESL Championship 2009. Satori, the AAA Class leader, allowed 4XTT from Belgium already yesterday to match the score for Round 7. The 19-pointer in Round 8 was three points ahead of the field again, and nothing seems to be in Satori's way any longer to get past the 21-point average level after ten rounds. Italy's former Ex3mo 8-way bronze medalist Luca Stanga informed the NSL News that Spinapsi is not competing for the United Kingdom, as the ESL leaderboard indicated earlier. Spinapsi is an Italian team, and the NSL News will hopefully follow up with... (more)

Did you know that UK's AAA Class teams carry the ESL load so far?
posted: Sep 11th, 2009 There is some pressure on the new national 4-way champion of the United Kingdom at the ESL Championship 2009. The pressure on Satori is not put up by another 4-way team on competition site in Hibaldstow this weekend. It is more the team's situation after the UK Nationals 2009 and the FAI World Cup 2009. The NSL News story provided some insights with the story on 8 September 2009. So far, Satori is fully living up to the great expectations and stands with a 22.3 average after today's seven rounds. The only question this weekend is whether Satori will set another new national record average after... (more)

Did you know that Black Cat and Skylight Barkli compete for money at the end of September?
posted: Sep 10th, 2009 Alena Chistova competed with the Russia 8-way team Crystal Contour at the FAI World Cup 2009 last week in the Czech Republic. Her team won the bronze medals, and the NSL News covered the 8-way situation with the story on 4 September 2009. She also competed with the Russian 4-way team Contour throughout the 2009 season and with other 4-way teams in the past. She also was a member of the Russian 8-way team Evolution Pro and won a bronze medal for Russia with an 18.6 average at the World Meet 2004 in Croatia. A bronze medal at the World Cup 2005 followed and another 3rd place finish with Evolution... (more)

Did you know that Hayabusa Defence had the last word at the World Cup 2009?
posted: Sep 8th, 2009 The NSL News has not offered the conclusion of the Fun Flag story at the FAI World Cup 2009 yet. The video of the wild battle for the flag after French videographer Sylvain Girault had dropped it from his parachute was posted with the story on 3 September 2009. This was the last Fun Flag update before the NSL News left Prostejov. There were already rumors by then that France was not in possession of the flag any longer after winning it on the battlefield in the landing area. These rumors connected the UK delegation once again with the flag, although there was no conformation from UK teams... (more)
