posted Mar 25th, 2017 - The first competition day of the French Indoor Nationals 2017 was in full swing until a flaw in the video and judging system interrupted the exciting action for a while.

The audience may have been wondering why the scores for Round 3 were posted on the leaderboard before Round 2 was complete. In fact, there were no scores of Round 2 at all, even though all teams had completed the round.

A flaw in the recording system created several judging videos that could not be used as they did not include the entry into the flying chamber. Judges and meet management eventually decided to send all teams back into flying chamber for a second attempt of the same round.

After that, the meet continued with normal operation, and the teams completed Round 3. However, the teams were still held on a break after Round 3, as there was no final decision whether the judgeable videos of the first attempt of Round 2 would be used or not. NMP PCH HayaBusa coach Gary Smith explained the situation for the Sun Path Products NSL News audience live on Saturday afternoon at Weembi.

The first NSL Reality TV video clip of the day was recorded after the competition draw was completed at 8:00 AM, and the teams began to prepare for Round 1. Weembi's home team used Julien Degen's office area to engineer the sequences, practice the sequences on the creepers and prepare for the competition rounds.

Gary Smith also evaluated the competition draw for the Sun Path Products NSL News in the morning before he explained the situation after Round 3 later on.

Echochamber is one of the guest teams at the French Indoor Nationals and traveled from Sweden to Lille. NMP PCH HayaBusa's inside center David Grauwels was chatting with the Swedes as if Round 1 was miles away. HayaBusa was 20 minutes away from the first round...

The second video clip begins with a trip into the ante-chamber where the teams were lining up for their turns of Round 1. The conversation with Gary Smith follows the chamber visit.
