Did You Know...

... that Aerodyne Aerokart won back five points of Round 1?

Brwaking news: Joey Jones with his wife Lena
posted Apr 7th, 2012 - Saturday morning at the World Challenge 2012 began with breaking news, which NSL News anchor Joey Jones explained before it was time for Round 1. He said that the judges took a second look at Round 1 of Aerodyne Aerokart, the French national 4way team.

The NSL News mentioned earlier that it was a devastating start into the competition for France, caused by a total of seven point deductions, with up to 11 marked infringements on the scoresheet. The French delegation and other teams and competitors were shocked since the French performance did not show anything extraordinary.

The NSL Reality TV video confirmed "just another jump" with a few glitches here and there and the potential for a few penalties. It was difficult to see it as an extremely ugly round. The World Challlenge rules allow the teams to challenge a judging call and ask for re-judging, and French national manager Jeremie Rollett used this opportunity. The judges reviewed Round 1 and deducted only two points on Saturday morning.

Five more points: Aerodyne Aerokart
This changed the situation on the top of the Open Class leaderboard significantly. Aerodyne Maubeuge did really well in the following rounds and was only two points behind Arizona Airspeed after Round 5 and before the judging review of Round 1. The five additional points put France in 2nd place, three points ahead of Airspeed and four points behind the leader from Belgium.

NMP-PCH Hayabusa did not have a 7-point lead over Airspeed in 2nd place any longer. Now it was only a 4-point lead over France. Airspeed found themselves in 3rd place and is now even more in the position that the team actually likes: Coming from behind. Mark Kirkby said before Round 6 that his team was already in attack mode on Friday. Not much would change for Airspeed on Saturday.

Then it was time for Round 6 and time to leave the breaking morning news behind. NSL Reality TV presents the activities on Saturday morning leading into the videos of the top teams in the flying chamber.
