Did you know that Joey Jones welcomes the World Challenge 2013 audience from his home? posted: Apr 3rd, 2013 The NSL News has moved to Bodyflight Bedford where the live coverage of the World Challenge 2013 begins officially with the competition draw and the first rounds on Friday morning.

Did you know that six points separated China and Denmark in Dubai and in DeLand? posted: Apr 2nd, 2013 The Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013 was once again the small version of a World Meet, with teams from ten different countries competing in DeLand.
One of several interesting battles at different parts of the leaderboard took place between China and the VAF Warriors from Denmark. The young team from China is still in DeLand for a long training camp that began shortly before the competition.
The average age is 21 years, and coach Solly Williams reported that the team members are very athletic and have a fast learning curve. It is not the same team that represented China at the Mondial... (more)
Did you know that Germany has a 4way vacuum to be filled this year? posted: Apr 1st, 2013 Paratec-Saar, the German national 4way team at the Mondial Dubai 2012, Paratec-Saar, had walked away once again with the German national 4way title last year. The same original lineup of 2007 (Markus Bastuck - Center Inside, Dieter Schwarz - Center Outside, Max Thiele - Point, Jörn Thiele - Tail, Alexander "Dude" Hau - Camera) dominated 4way competition in Germany ever since and has now disbanded.
The same five 4way competitors have also won the German 8way titles in the same time period, even though the 8way lineup has changed over the years. The Mondial 2012 in Dubai was the end of an impressive... (more)
Did you know that Brazil's Ladies First followed Anima's 2012 pattern? posted: Mar 31st, 2013 It was no surprise that Canada's national 4way team Evolution won the $400 cash for Round 8 after handicap at the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013.
Evolution's 20-pointer was also the sole highscore for the third round of the annual Shamrock Showdown Skins Game before handicap, which shows that it would be very difficult for all other teams to keep up for this $400 skin. Evolution won this round easily after handicap (21.49 - 20.67) with a.team4way in 2nd place.
Round 9 also had a clear winner of the next $400. However, this time the team came from the very bottom of the leaderboard.
