Did you know that the AA Class competition mirrors the AAA Class race after eight rounds? posted: Sep 6th, 2005 The AAA Class teams have been on a hold after the completion of round nine. Actually, all teams except the top five continued jumping to complete round ten but have not been judged yet. Plan is to send the top five back in the air at 3:00 pm and have a live judging on stage and in the middle of the crowd.
The live judging was introduced at the USPA Nationals 2003 in Lake Wales and created a lot of excitement and great atmosphere at the competition site. The race for the first place is obviously close enough to make round ten a final showdown.
The sequence for the last round (13 - 18 - J)... (more)
Did you know that Pete Allum evaluated the situation after round eight? posted: Sep 6th, 2005 Round eight brought the next shocker.

Did you know that Golden Knight John Hoover explains yesterday's performance? posted: Sep 6th, 2005 The NSL News fell a little bit behind at the second half of yesterday's event coverage in Perris. The reason for the interruption was a conflict with USPA that was unforseen. The NSL News had prepared the coverage of the USPA Nationals as properly as possible and asked for permission to do the normal NSL News business in Perris.
The conflict came to the surface when meet director Scott Smith and USPA's Director of Competition, Larry Bagley, asked the NSL News to stop uploading video files of the meet for NSL-TV. The NSL News was surprised by this order since NSL-TV is a part of the usual special... (more)
