Did you know that the A Class teams also battled for bronze medals in Roosendaal?
posted: Nov 28th, 2018 The situation on the top level of the A Class leaderboard at the ISR Grand Prix 2018 was very similar to the AAA and AA Class. Each of the two top teams in the gold and silver medal positions had secured the finishing positions without a serious challenge for the winners, while several teams battled for the bronze medals. A Class winner MAD Team from Poland could be expected to be one of the top contenders, after posting a 23.8 average at the 5th Flyspot Polish Open in September. MAD Team had spent the 2017 indoor season in Poland's Rookie Class competition and finished off the first year in... (more)

The three best 4-way Junior teams in the world (Air Devils from Canada, Aerokart Ak'demie from France, HF Cubs) are also far ahead of all other AA Class teams who have posted indoor scores in this category in 2018. Dive pools and sequences are identical between the official FAI 4-way Junior event and the AA Class of the four NSL categories. The competition... (more)

Did you know that HF Flying Circus and Out of the Blue battled for bronze medals with new record averages?
posted: Nov 26th, 2018 The 8-round AAA Class competition at the ISR Grand Prix 2018 turned out slightly different than it was expected, according to the NSL Power Rankings. HF eX3MO from Italy was not able to challenge home team ISR FireFlash seriously, while taking the silver medals easily. The Dutch substitute for the Belgian team, former Thunder ISR member Jacco van Eerden, filled the tail slot like he had never taken a break from top 4-way competition, and FireFlash finished very close to the team's best scoring level with the 26.8 average. ISR FireFlash had posted a higher meet average (27.3) with the complete... (more)
