The videos of the first three rounds show Golden Knights Gold, Paraclete XP4 and SDC Rhythm XP in a close competition.

This strong lineup with the most experienced competitors of the 8-way team has become the top contender for the 3rd place.

Did you know that CamScore has added a new feature to the outstanding program? posted: Sep 12th, 2010 The weather is beautiful on Sunday morning at the USPA Nationals 2010, and the competition is in full swing.
The NSL News still goes back to yesterday's events for a good reason. CamScore has provided NSL-TV with the first meet videos, which feature the leaders in the Open and Advanced Class with the first two rounds on Saturday.
CamScore has a new feature, which is a voluntary effort to make it easier to find and see the infringements. 8 seconds of slow motion after the judging has been completed bring each detected infringement to the special attention of the audience. What a fantastic... (more)
Did you know that teams are on a wind hold at the USPA Nationals 2010? posted: Sep 11th, 2010 It came as it had to be expected. The weather system passed through, and the clear skies allowed for a few competition rounds. But then the winds on the back side of the front picked up, and the meet management had to put the teams on a wind hold.
That was not a bad situation since the judges have a chance to catch up. It was a really fast pace for the teams to complete the first two rounds. There was not much time for a rest between the jumps. The new competition jump had to be prepared quickly, as the next boarding call would come very soon.
Two rounds have been completed in all three competition... (more)
Did you know that the SDC Furies accepted the first NSL Talk invitation at the USPA Nationals 2010? posted: Sep 11th, 2010 The NSL News used the downtime later on Saturday morning for the first NSL Talk at the USPA Nationals 2010. The SDC Furies accepted the invitation and met with NSL News reporter Kurt Gaebel when there was still a serous cloud cover over Skydive Chicago.
It was apparently the right time to make a move. The NSL Talk was set up outside in the loading area, and it was also a provocation challenging the weather situation, which then improved by the minute during the NSL Talk. The sun came out when interview and discussion were over, and it will probably not be too long until the teams will be called... (more)
Did you know that jump preparations began late in the evening at the USPA Nationals 2010? posted: Sep 11th, 2010 Everything is ready for action at the USPA Nationals 2010, including the NSL event pages and the new leaderboards, which are waiting to be filled up with scores. The weather situation is very similar between the events on Texel and Ottawa, as the video clip of the ESL Championship 2010 was showing.
The NSL News has now uploaded the next NSL Reality TV clip. All footage was captured live on Friday. This clip begins when the judges had their briefing in Skydive Chicago's auditorium in the afternoon. Canadian Chief Judge of the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 in Menzelinsk, Rina...

Did you know that 54 teams at the UK Nationals 2010 were not quite enough? posted: Sep 11th, 2010 The 54 teams at the UK Nationals 2010 was a great number and a serious challenge - but it wasn't quite enough. Sorry, Jo and UK teams, and let's try again next year...
The US 4-way teams did not show any signs of economic troubles, downswing of Formation Skydiving competition or anything similar. They came out in flocks as usual and brought the number of teams at the USPA Nationals 2010 in Ottawa to 59.
There was obviously a very good reason why the line at registration was long. The Skydive Chicago staff worked hard to accommodate all new arrivals on Friday evening until the opening ceremony... (more)
