Did you know that the Glitter Girls are a serious team? posted: Jul 11th, 2013 The first 2013 competition in Texas was hosted by Skydive Spaceland, as the Sun Path Products NSL News reported on 3 July 2013. Skydive San Marcos is next with this year's Summer Showdown on the July 27 weekend.
One San Marcos home team, the Glitter Girls, made the trip to Spaceland for the season opener and will now compete on home turf, which copies the team's competition schedule of last year. The Glitter Girls then also attended the Dallas Super Cup in September 2012.
The Glitter Girls have the same lineup for the second year in a row: Center Outside Angelee Jones, Center Inside Kara... (more)
Did you know that Spaceland Lite launched the 2013 season with a new team record average? posted: Jul 3rd, 2013 The 4way teams from Texas were the dominating factor on last weekend's overall leaderboard this time. Eight teams competed in three different categories at Spaceland, and the Texas teams won in each category. Spaceland Lite took the first place in the AAA Class, Spaceland SPX5 did the same in the AA Class, and the Rookie Class home team Spel Chek won the Rookie Class.
Spaceland Lite outscored Dallas En Fuego on home turf and AAA Class teams from two other locations (Northern Plains, Czech Republic) on the overall AAA Class leaderboard of last weekend's events.

Did you know that the Dallas Super Cup scores were boosted not only by a Super Sequence? posted: Sep 24th, 2012 The 2012 season is also over for the 4way teams in Texas, except for those who will travel to Eloy for the USPA Nationals in October or to DeLand for the NSL Championship in November.
The Dallas Super Cup concluded the 2012 season in a fashionable way, as the competition draw for last weekend included a Super Sequence in Round 4 (J-F-E-Q-N). A sequence of only Random Formations is nothing unusual for Rookie Class teams, and the A Class draw includes sequences with three Random Formations on a regular basis, as well.
AAA Class teams and even AA Class teams have to wait much longer until a... (more)

Did you know that Skydive San Marcos hosted the Texas Summer Showdown? posted: Jul 31st, 2012 Last weekend's overall leaderboard needs once again a few adjustments in the two categories where teams competed at different locations and completed different numbers of rounds.
The German teams used the whole weekend of great weather in Kassel-Calden to complete all ten rounds of the draw. The teams at Skydive San Marcos in Texas competed only on Saturday and were done after six rounds. To make it fair, only the first six rounds of the Usual Suspects should count for the overall standings, which would place the German AAA Class team on the top in this category.
Spaceland Lite and Dallas... (more)
