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)

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.
