Did you know that the 8-way event at the Malevsky Cup features the top five teams of 2004? posted: Jun 6th, 2005 The NSL News story on June 1 mentioned that the FAI Anton Malevsky Memorial International Cup 2005 will include the 8-way event for the first time in the event's history. The NSL News does not cover 8-way as regular as 4-way by nature. However, 8-way competition has been covered very extensively at the major events.
The NSL News was live on site when Arizona Airspeed and the Russian 8-way team went into a jump-off and tie-breaker situation at the world meet in France 2003. The 8-way competition was just as exciting at the world meet in Croatia 2004 when the NSL News had also traveled to Europe... (more)

This flaw relates only to meets where teams competed at earlier meets of a different league.
The results of the May 28 weekend were calculated after four rounds in the AAA Class and also the AA Class, after three rounds in the A Class. The Southwest Skydiving League completed all six rounds, while the Georgia Skydiving League competition... (more)

Did you know that the omission of a whole block costs a team a 6-point deduction? posted: Jun 3rd, 2005 NST-TV regularly includes several different penalty situations and has initiated many different discussions of the rules in the past. Recently, and shortly after the last NSL-TV videos were uploaded, the omission came up once again. A Canadian visitor of the NSL Forum created a penalty situation:
