Did you know that the $100 rejudgment option was eliminated last week in Stockholm?
posted: Jan 31st, 2006 The International Parachuting Commission (IPC) held its annual meeting last week in Stockholm, Sweden's capital on the shores of the Baltic Sea in Scandinavia.

Did you know that the NSL News received updates from the United Kingdom?
posted: Jan 25th, 2006 There were times when team news from the United Kingdom made the NSL News on a regular basis.

Did you know that round eight of the NSL Championship 2005 brought trouble for some teams?
posted: Jan 23rd, 2006 Round seven of the NSL Championship at SkyQuest 2005 has already been posted for quite a while. It was a fun round for the teams, and it was also a fun sequence to watch. Italy's national team Sinapsi PD had a flawless performance and finished with a 19-pointer, which left the Italians still with a 22.0 average after seven rounds. Round eight brought Sinapsi PD to the extreme opposite end of 4-way success. The team's 15-pointer in this round included more significant mistakes than in any of the previous rounds, maybe more than in all previous rounds together. Sinapsi PD was actually lucky to... (more)
