Did you know that Texas, Midwest and Florida teams battled on the ICL July leaderboard? posted: Aug 22nd, 2024 Kyle Hermberg's Indoor Cloud League team at iFLY Dallas had only eight participants available last month to perform the July sequences. He had to choose wisely how to set up the lineups and assign them to the six different sequences.
He was aware of the ICL rules and could eventually not use all the scores that his July team generated, as the same participants may only score in two neighboring categories. Result was a set of four scores and videos for the month of July in the middle of the summer season and the preparations for the upcoming national outdoor championship.

Did you know that the British 8-way Nationals needed the next tie-breaker? posted: Aug 20th, 2024 British 8-way teams used to be in the hunt for the highest ranking behind the medal contenders until the Qatar Falcons occupied the 4th place in 2016. There was still no place on the 8-way podium in sight even when France did not send an 8-way team to Australia in 2018.

Only U.S. team Paraclete XP8 and Qatar Tigers were out of reach, and Germany's Airbus 8-way team was the first one who benefitted from the surprisingly available medal... (more)
Did you know that bad weather did not stop 4-way competitors in the Midwest? posted: Aug 20th, 2024 Last weekend accommodated several related 4-way activities, even though they did not all turn out the way they were planned.
