Did you know that there are options in the 4-way Women Power Rankings? posted: Aug 28th, 2024 The first previews of the FAI Outdoor World Championships 2024 with the NSL Power Rankings conclude with the 4-way Women event, which seems to have the same participation as the 8-way competition with five national teams, according to the list of currently registered countries.
There is a question mark behind the defending champions from Great Britain though, as NFTO have not confirmed yet that they will travel to Crystal Coast in North Carolina. Anna Hicks, Vana Parker, Sian Stokes and Catherine Anderson, with Simon Brentford on camera, won the FAI gold medals for the British delegation in... (more)
Did you know that Skywalkers Junior lifted the Czech 4-way level once again? posted: Aug 27th, 2024 July was the first Indoor Cloud League month this year when the Czech team at the Hurricane Factory did not post the highest total for the month. Logically, it became the first time that another team finished in 1st place, and ICL Midwest had the honor to take the position on the top of the July leaderboard.
The two leaders on the annual ICL leader, Hurricane Factory and iFLY Dallas, both missed scores for two of the six categories, which was enough to allow ICL Midwest to win the July competition. The iFLY Dallas team for July actually performed all six sequences, as the NSL News reported on... (more)
Did you know that there are probably no surprises in the 8-way medal positions? posted: Aug 26th, 2024 The current 8-way Power Rankings for the FAI Outdoor World Championships 2024 are not as complicated as they were in 4-way Open. The 8-way field has currently exactly the same number of teams compared to the 8-way participation in Eloy 2022.
Five teams competed for the three sets of FAI medals two years ago, and five teams are currently registered for the event at Crystal Coast in October. The leaderboard with the NSL Power Rankings is showing a total of six teams, as it includes the two German 8-way teams who still have to qualify for the world championship.

Nine of the 13 listed national 4-way Open Class teams competed at the previous outdoor world championship in Eloy 2022, as well, and six of them return with the same lineups two years later. NMP PCH HayaBusa, Agera and Out Of The Blue have new team members.
All of the returning teams, including HayaBusa and OOTB, can naturally be expected to confirm their... (more)
Did you know that the German national 8-way champion may be rewarded with FAI bronze medals? posted: Aug 22nd, 2024 The recent 8-way results from the British Outdoor Nationals confirmed the indications of previous NSL News updates that Germany seems to have a realistic chance to defend the 8-way bronze medals successfully that Airbus Oceanside Illertissen won for the first time at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2022.
The British 8-way teams used to be some of Germany's toughest 8-way opponents for the rankings behind the medal positions in this world championship category. 8-way teams from the United States, France, Russia and Qatar were in the way for any other national 8-way teams to get to the medal... (more)
