News Article Did you know that 4-way Women teams NFTO and Meltemi still have clean scoresheets after Round 5?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2022 The NSL News already pointed out on October 21st that the leader in 4-way Women, NFTO, had no point deductions on their scoresheets throughout Round 3. Only the German national team in 4-way Women matched the clean performance at that point in time. Airbus and Mojo Annecy-Clermont were performing just as cleanly in 8-way as the two 4-way Women teams did, and they both added another clean round. It was over for Airbus with the disastrous Round 5, and the end of a penalty-free competition came for the French 8-way team in Round 6. There has been no end yet for the same two teams in 4-way Women.... (more)
News Article Did you know that 4Astrophe continue Canadian 4-way family tradition?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2022 The weather system that the NSL News mentioned in an earlier update did indeed interfere with the schedule of the FAI Outdoor World Meet. The 4-way teams were called to Skydive Arizona for an early start with Round 5 on Sunday morning, and only half of the 4-way Open Class teams have new scores on the leaderboard. The four teams in 4-way Women completed their Round 5, as they begin each new 4-way turnaround, and NFTO extended the lead by two points with another highscore. They have allowed only the French Nephtys to tie one of their scores so far. The following weather break offered the opportunity... (more)
News Article Did you know that Gary Smith, Joey Jones and Solly Williams met in a Majik Coaches Corner?
posted: Oct 23rd, 2022 Things changed quickly in the 8-way competition of the FAI Outdoor World Meet. The NSL News had just posted the update that covered the situation after Round 4, and the strong position of the German Airbus 8-way team in the race for the country's first FAI medals since 1985, when disaster struck them in Round 5. After a good exit and successful building of the first Swiss Bear of Block 2, a serious level problem followed in the inter. It took almost the whole rest of the working time to complete the inter, and Airbus ended up with a total of four points. The German 8-way team lost seven points... (more)
News Article Did you know that Airbus 8 added three more points to the bronze-medal lead in Round 4?
posted: Oct 22nd, 2022 Saturday began with 8-way competition at the FAI Outdoor World Meet. Meet director Randy Connell will try to add four more rounds to the first three on Friday, before a weather system may interfere with the schedule temporarily. Round 4 continued with the progression on the leaderboard, as it had been happening on Friday, the first day of the competition. Paraclete XP extended the lead to a total of 15 points, while the Qatars Falcons added four more points to the lead over Airbus 8. The German 8-way team won another round over the other two bronze medal contenders, MicroClim8 and Mojo Annecy-Clermont.... (more)
News Article Did you know that Airbus 8 are closer than ever to the first FAI medals for Germany?
posted: Oct 21st, 2022 The next NSL-TV Unfiltered video clip is a special feature for the XP8 fans. The 8-way teams were called to action in the early afternoon, and they were done after three rounds, which made it a total of seven competition jumps for Jeana Billings and Michelle Karamon. It doesn't sound like much, and it isn't, as of the number of jumps. The challenging part of their double-duties in 4-way and 8-way is the fact that they had to get up well before sunrise and get ready for the four rounds in 4-way Women, where they are trying to win FAI gold medals, as well. The 8-way competition was over shortly... (more)
News Article Did you know that the combined 4-way leaderboard is showing strong 4-way Women presence?
posted: Oct 21st, 2022 The 4-way competition on Friday at the FAI Outdoor World Meet was over after Round 4, as meet director Randy Connell had planned it. The 8-way teams began with their first round early in the afternoon and will probably complete their own four rounds, as well. There were no big surprises on the two 4-way leaderboards, compared to the NSL Power Rankings. Arizona Airspeed had a slow start and needed two rounds until they finally put the other three top teams into place. Airspeed is now 14 points ahead after the first four rounds. The competition for the 2nd place is as tight as expected, and... (more)
