Did you know that the Virginia Parachute Council offers a second meet test before USPA Nationals? posted: Jul 17th, 2024 Today's embedded leaderboard is a small one and features the teams who took on the most recent competition draw of the NSL 4-way Network. It is a small leaderboard due to the number of completed rounds, even though a total of 19 teams actually posted at least a score for one round.
In fact, only the British 4-way teams were suffering very louzy jumping weather and held out to get the score for the one and only round. The two Czech AAA Class teams, Skywalkers Junior and M Team, made it all the way forward to Round 8, and two teams of the Virginia Parachute Council completed three rounds at Skydive... (more)
Did you know that ICL Midwest and iFLY Fort Lauderdale tied their June total? posted: Jul 16th, 2024 The same three teams at iFLY Fort Lauderdale in South Florida posted once again the scores for the six Indoor Cloud League sequences last month, 4Action (AAA/AA), Volaticus (A/RRR) and Under Construction (RR/R).
It is an interesting coincidence that the ICL Midwest team has two teams who are also posting ICL scores regularly for the same categories, CSC Constellation XP (AAA/AA) and CSC Singularity (A/RRR/RR/R).
The same four teams competed at outdoor events in the same month, as well, while they did not share the same June leaderboards and competition draws. The ICL leaderboard for the month... (more)
Did you know that Solly Williams and Gary Smith were coaching opponents in Australia 1999? posted: Jul 13th, 2024 A slower meet weekend, with only the Virginia Parachute Council celebrating a comeback that Kat Osipova has organized for the teams in her region, the NSL News has another opportunity to add information to the archives that has not been published yet at SKYLEAGUE.COM or anywhere else.
However, the NSL News reported in October 1999 how Silvanus (Solly) Williams covered the FAI World Championship 1999 for the internet presence that the NSL News had at that time. He was coaching the DeLand Norgies to their first bronze medals in Australia before he eventually also became their opponent with DeLand... (more)
Did you know that CSC Singularity took the lead in the A Class rankings? posted: Jul 11th, 2024 The third June leaderboard of the NSL 4-way Network had two more teams that were not included in the NSL News updates on June 7th and on June 12th. The first update covered the scores which were already available after the meets in Great Britain and California. The second one followed up with more scores from the Czech Republic.
Last and not least, two more teams from the Midwest Skydiving League area completed the third combined June leaderboard with scores and videos for the AA and A Class sequences. CSC Constellation XP and CSC Singularity both completed seven rounds in their respective... (more)
Did you know that NMP PCH HayaBusa shared their CISM experiences with NSL Live Talk? posted: Jul 10th, 2024 NMP PCH HayaBusa were still in Hungary after the dramatic finish at the CISM World Championship that the NSL News reported yesterday. The official award ceremony was scheduled for the day after the last competition round, and the successfully defending CISM world champions were available for NSL Live Talk before the conclusion of the whole event.
The NSL News update after the completion of Round 8 included the fact that not only just by the numbers this year's CISM world championship was the closest one for NMP PCH HayaBusa since they won the first time in 2007 by one single point. The new NSL... (more)
Did you know that NMP PCH HayaBusa turned the CISM leaderboard with three consecutive highscores? posted: Jul 9th, 2024 All is said and done in Hungary, and NMP PCH HayaBusa won the 16th consecutive CISM World Championship title for Belgium, with probably the team's best performance of the 8-round competition.
InTime's Dirk Venter, who controlled the operation of the judging system live in Hungary and is an experienced competitor and FAI Judge himself, said that HayaBusa's engineering of the last sequence made a significant difference. The Belgian's won the last round by three points over the Golden Knights with a more traditional engineering of Round 8.
The sequence of Round 8 (M-Q-R-14) included Random Formation... (more)
