Did you know that 93 teams competed in 4-way last weekend? posted: Aug 16th, 2010 The second leaderboard of last weekend's meets has grown with scores from Finland. It was a record weekend. The combination of both leaderboards would cumulate to the total of 93 teams competing on the same weekend. That is a quite amazing number, and the 100 seems to be in reach, probably next year.
The UK Nationals 2010 was the biggest contributor with a total of 54 teams alone. 25 Rookie Class teams joined the competition and provide a solid foundation for the future of the new Formation Skydiving powerhouse on the British islands.

Did you know that there are two different leaderboards this weekend? posted: Aug 15th, 2010 The record participation at the UK Nationals 2010, with the re-match between Satori and Team Bodyflight after the first UK showdown at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010, has been dominating the NSL Leaderboard this weekend.
However, there is another leaderboard of the same weekend that offers additional scores. The UK Nationals 2010 had its own competition draw, which was celebrated live before the beginning of the meet and done manually.
The usual NSL competition draw for the weekend brought together the teams from Norway, Brazil and the Midwest Skydiving League. This leaderboard... (more)
Did you know that Norway's national 4-way teams have to put up with the DeLand Norgies this weekend? posted: Aug 13th, 2010 The situation in Norway is almost exactly the same as in the United Kingdom this weekend. X3M4S Elements competed for Norway in the Open Class 4-way competition of the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010, Polaris represented Norway in the female 4-way category. This weekend, they will be ranked on the same leaderboard at the national championships.
The indirect competition between the two Norwegian teams was not as close as the UK 1-point race between Satori and Team Bodyflight. However, only four points separated X3M4S Elements and Polaris after eight rounds.

Did you know that Team Bodyflight and Satori continue their UK battle this weekend? posted: Aug 12th, 2010 The competition at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 is over. However, several teams have only a short break before they compete again at national championships.
This weekend has two of those events on the agenda, and they include a very interesting situation.
The 4-way teams at the World Meet were separated into the Open and the Female category. Most of the nations don't copy the two different IPC competition classes at their national championships.
All 4-way teams are ranked and the scores are posted on the same leaderboard, including the national 4-way teams that competed... (more)
Did you know that the Aerokart Deep Blue members had their eyes on the other leaderboard? posted: Aug 11th, 2010 Last, and not least at all, NSL-TV features eight of the ten rounds that the French national team in the female 4-way category, Aerokart Deep Blue, delivered at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010.
It was no surprise that the French team won the gold medals without much competition in this category. Team Bodyflight and Spaceland Blue were hoping that they may have a chance to challenge Deep Blue. Reality was different.
The French team was much better prepared and on a different scoring and performance level after being together with the same lineup since the end of the 2007... (more)
Did you know that NSL-TV now features the 8-way showdown in Round 10? posted: Aug 10th, 2010 The 4-way Open Class drama at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving 2010 between Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge and Arizona Airspeed could not be topped by any other event in Menzelinsk. However, the 8-way finish was not far behind at all as of thrill and drama.
The battle between Aerodyne Cypres Maubeuge's 8-way lineup and the Golden Knights went just as much back and forth as it happened with the French and US 4-way teams throughout the meet. The Golden Knights were up by a point up after Round 7, and France won back the 1-point lead in Round 8.
Round 9 may have been the most important... (more)
