posted Jun 5th, 2025 - As usual as it has been in the past years at formation skydiving competition events, InTime provided the scoring system for the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025, as well. It was created by Claire King and Dirk Venter, who are also experienced FAI judges, and their services have become more popular year by year since they launched it in 2019.

The onsite and online services include leaderboards of the events that they are covering, and the leaderboards often include links to the competition videos that they generate for judges and audience at the events. NSL News and InTime have been working together since their scoring system was launched and became the standard for not only formation skydiving competition events.

However, the competition videos of FAI/ISC events, indoor and outdoor world championships and world cups, are not always available at InTime, as the world's sanctioning organization is posting them on their own FAI/ISC website for the audience. For an example, the competition rounds of the most recent event at Paraclete XP, the indoor world championship, can only be viewed at the FAI/ISC website, even though they encourage participating teams and audience to download them for further use.

It was a surprising leaderboard at InTime that was catching the attention of the NSL News a few weeks after the completion of the indoor world championship. It featured four of the five teams who attended the 4-way Women competition at the indoor world meet, and one additional team in the middle of the unexpected leaderboard.

Russian 4-way Women scores on the copy of the InTime leaderboard of the FAI Indoor World Championship

---

It became even more surprising when the competition draw for the ten rounds was identical with the one that was used at the indoor world meet. The scores were also exactly the same, and only the team names were different. Only the 4-way Women team from Switzerland, Airdrops, was not on the unusual leaderboard.

It turned out that Russia's new windtunnel in Kemerovo, near Tanay where the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2021 took place, had scheduled their annual Russian Indoor Cup on the same date of the indoor world championship at Paraclete XP, and they applied the same competition draw for their ten rounds in Kemerovo.

Russia had previously acquired the InTime online judging system that was already used in August 2021 for the outdoor world championship in Tanay. They used their part of the system to post the scores and the videos of the 4-way Women competition and created the unusual copy of the leaderboard at Paraclete XP. It is surely not unusual that teams and organizers synchronize and copy competition draws, either for training purposes or even within the NSL 4-way Network, sometimes in cooperation with the National Skydiving League, sometimes without. Fact is that scores for the same competition draw can still only be used for rough comparison, as at least meet environment and judging are usually significantly different. Only the 4-way Women event was published on InTime, where Siberries finished in 3rd place and a medal position. The NSL News still copied the Russian procedure in 4-way Open where VDV would have only taken the 4th place away from Skywalkers Junior by three points.
