Did you know that Midwest and Czech Republic were far in distance but close in weather? posted: May 29th, 2013 Last weekend's leaderboard is complete and shows that bad weather had a serious impact at all three locations (Midwest, Northern Plains, Czech Republic).
Chicagoland Skydiving Center and Pribram in the Czech Republic are very far away from each other and still had both only two complete rounds.
The situation in the Midwest was even worse, as only two teams had 35 seconds of working time in the whole meet (Round 2 in the AA Class). All other jumps were made from reduced altitude, and the scores have been extrapolated from 20/25 seconds to 35 seconds.May 25th, 2013Round 1Round 2Round 3Round... (more)

It was a beautiful morning with great jumping conditions, and six teams came to take advantage of it.
Three of those teams registered for the AA Class, and they were all welcomed by a slow competition draw. The Hawks were joined by new team SDC Edge and veterans Jetstream Tango, back for their fourth season of MWSL competition.
Despite a costly video problem in Round 1, Tango gave the Hawks a run for their money, but finished 2nd by three points in the weather shortened meet. Edge... (more)
