Did you know that no world meets were completed after a rule change in 2004?
posted: Nov 14th, 2008 The NSL News reported for the first time on 6 October 2008 what teams, competitors, judges and officials discussed during the open IPC meeting at the World Meet 2008. The future of the freeze frame judging was the topic. The story on 9 November 2008 followed up with another important topic, the use of slower viewing speed for the judging procedure. Finally, one more issue was discussed at the end of the meeting in Maubeuge, and it was related to the event duration. The NSL News took on the issue already during the World Meet 2008 in Maubeuge when bad weather began to put pressure on the meet... (more)

Did you know that Lee Love has a comeback with UK team Satori?
posted: Nov 13th, 2008 The NSL News has covered the team career of the British 4-way team Satori ever since the team was formed at the beginning of the 2008 season. The first story on 9 January 2008 introduced the lineup and the plans for the first year. Julia Foxwell (Center Outside), Liz Matthews (Center Inside), Katie Woods (Point), Aaron Faith (Tail) and Ian Ridpath on camera attended six meets this year. Amanda Kemp filled in at one meet for Aaron Faith in the Tail slot. Satori moved up quickly to the top level of 4-way competition in the United Kingom and gave the UK champions of Bodyflight Storm something to... (more)

Did you know that Kaleidoscope Divers and 4-way teams are getting ready for SkyQuest 2008?
posted: Nov 12th, 2008 The NSL 2008 season is coming to its end very soon. SkyQuest 2008, the annual event that concludes each NSL season, is scheduled for November 20 - 23. Skydive DeLand will once again be the SkyQuest host. The combination of BJ Worth's Kaleidoscope Dives and the NSL Championship, plus other skydiving disciplines in different years, has been a fun and entertaining event for eight years now. The NSL Championship brings together the teams that have not had enough of 4-way competition at this time of the year. The 4-way event also offers the A Class and Rookie Class teams an opportunity to compete... (more)

Did you know that Mass Defiance still holds the amateur record average?
posted: Nov 11th, 2008 The NSL News story on 7 November 2008 covered the impressive progression of Arizona Divewerkz, which recently culminated with a 19.0 average at the USPA Nationals 2008 and the unofficial title of the best "amateur team" in the USA. Another team name has been mentioned quite a few times, mostly whenever the NSL News covered the best "amateur teams" in the sport. Mass Defiance from New England actually still owns the highest meet average of the teams that can be considered weekend or amateur teams. The original lineup (Ben Liston, Jim Rees, John Silva, Brian Stephens, with Rick Smith on camera)... (more)

Did you know that 90 seconds could become the working time - for the judges?
posted: Nov 9th, 2008 The NSL News reported of the last open meeting with teams and competitors and IPC representatives during the coverage of the World Meet 2008. The story on 6 October 2008 focused on the freeze frame issue, which was discussed at the meeting. Two other main topics were on the agenda: the introduction of "half speed judging" and the event duration. "Half speed judging" has already been discussed for quite a while. In fact, the topic was already officially on the agenda for the IPC Meeting in January 2008. Gillian Winter, IPC Delegate for France, had provided a proposal how to improve the accuracy... (more)

Did you know that Arizona Divewerkz won the amateur championship at the USPA Nationals 2008?
posted: Nov 7th, 2008 The NSL News mentioned the "amateur championship" as a part of the Open Class competition at the USPA Nationals 2008 a few times during the live coverage of the event from Eloy. It is always an interesting situation when the teams of three different categories actually apply the same AAA Class dive pool. USPA's Open and Advanced Class teams are separated by different leaderboards and have their own sets of medals. The "pro teams" or "full-time teams" - whatever the definition of this may be - compete together with "amateur" or "weekend teams" in the Open Class. The best "amateur teams" in the... (more)
