posted Feb 15th, 2021 - The iFLY Dallas team opened the 2021 season of the Indoor Cloud League with the highest total since 2016. The Texas group of 4-way fans joined the Indoor Cloud League in May 2014 and have posted January scores ever since.

The ICL teams all posted their scores on the same leaderboards in the first two years (2014 - 2016) until two different sets of draws separated the participating teams in the larger 14+ flying chambers from the teams on the 12+ leaderboard.

The six ICL sequences were tailored to fit all flying chambers before the introduction of the 14+ leaderboard in May 2016. The new set of 14+ sequences used the complete dive pool, and the two Open Class sequences (AAA - AA) have naturally been slower ever since.

The iFLY Dallas team switched to the 14+ leaderboard, together with several other teams who performed in larger flying chambers, and the monthly totals decreased. The total of 102 points for January 2021 is now the highest January number for iFLY Dallas.

The scores and videos from Texas followed the ones from iFLY Tampa, the first of the new year, and iFLY Dallas has taken the top spot on the new leaderboard. There are still additional scores and videos coming for January, even though the conditions for any indoor and outdoor events are still challenging.

Kyle Hermberg, ICL organizer at iFLY Dallas, had exactly the same lineup available for the AAA/AA sequences as in December 2020 (Caden Maydew - Point, Michael Erickson - Outside Center, Kyle Hermberg - Inside Center, Aaron Perkins - Tail). The same team will also compete at the upcoming Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2021.

Kyle Hermberg is the defending champion of last year's national indoor championship event. He won the AA/Intermediate Class competition with Barhons. This time, he is visiting Paraclete XP with the iFLY Dallas lineup and could still be eligible to defend the title in the same category.

Last year, four of the ten AA/Intermediate Class sequences at Paraclete XP could have been drawn for a AAA/Open Class competition, and the iFLY Dallas team seems to be well prepared for this option.

iFLY Dallas Indoor Cloud League Highscores for January 2021

---

Kyle Hermberg said that there is another iFLY Dallas team soon traveling to North Carolina. The Flying Unicorn Circus in Training entered the 4-way world at the October meet of the October competition of the Texas Skydiving League.

The lineup has changed, and Raj Sarkar (Point), Pressly Bonner (Outside Center), Tarynn Ecton (Inside Center) and Christina Edwards (Tail) will now compete for the Unicorns at the indoor event. Christina Edwards replaced Dylan Tompkins in the tail slot after the Dallas Super Cup 2020.

All Unicorns members have posted scores and videos for the iFLY Dallas team and participated in different lineups. Raj Sarkar and Tarynn Ecton had Michael Erickson and Kyle Hermberg as their team mates and player-coaches at the January event of the Indoor Cloud League at iFLY Dallas. All four Unicorns members were also in three different lineups at the December 2020 event.

The Flying Unicorn Circus in Training competed in the AA/Intermediate Class at the outdoor meet of the Texas Skydiving League last year. They will probably end up on the same leaderboard where their more experienced ICL team mates post their scores.
