Did you know that the combination of senior outdoor summer and junior school vacation slow down the Czech Indoor Cloud League? posted: Jun 30th, 2022 The summer months are historically the time of the year when the Indoor Cloud League scores of the Czech team at the Hurricane Factory are dropping significantly, and it's happening again this year.
There are very logical reasons behind this situation in the Czech Republic. It is the time of the year when the 4-way seniors turn primarily to outdoor activities, while the 4-way juniors are on summer vacation from school and may spend time with their families away from home.
