Did you know that the DFV Cup 2008 offers two exciting races?
posted: Sep 8th, 2008 The DFV Cup in Germany is the equivalent of the national championships and takes turns with the German Nationals year by year.

The German national teams that competed at the World Meet 2008 in France, FSC Eisenach and Chicas, are in the same situation back home as several other national teams that the NSL News has already covered after the conclusion of the world meet. However, it is the first time now that any of the... (more)

Did you know that the UK delegation captured the ESL Spirit in the Netherlands?
posted: Sep 7th, 2008 The currently posted scores of the ESL Championship 2008 are also the last ones of the event. The weather on Texel this year was not much better than the weather in Spa 2007. The 30 teams had to leave after completing only four rounds of the 10-round competition, three rounds in the Rookie Class. The ESL championships of 2005 and 2006 in Spa, Belgium, had no weather problems at all, and the teams completed all ten rounds within the three event days. Last year's event in Spa had only two completed rounds, three in the AAA Class. (more)

posted: Sep 6th, 2008 It is no mystery any longer, the Texel Airport team is identical with the lineup of the Dutch national 4-way team, Dynamic Fource (Paul Hofstee - Center Outside, Erwin van den Braak - Center Inside, Meüs van der Poel - Tail, Koen van der Venne - Point, Hans van Marrewijk on camera).

Dynamic Fource is the main pointgetter for the Dutch delegation and controls the AAA Class competition on... (more)

Did you know that Monkey Circus won the Austrian Nationals 2008 with the original lineup?
posted: Sep 4th, 2008 As many other countries, Austria held the national championships after the World Meet 2008, as well, and wrapped up the 2008 competition season on the July 30 weekend. It was a slow year in Austria prior to the national championship. However, the last competition of the 2008 season attracted a total of 12 teams to the competition site in Linz.
