Did you know that there was heavy damage for Russia in Round 5?
posted: Jan 9th, 2011 The leaderboards of the Dubai Championship 2011 were updated late. In fact, the penalty information was available earlier than the complete scores. This is the reason why some teams are not in the proper rankings in the tables that show the penalties. The numbers indicate the point deductions, and they looked funny without the actual scores. Some negative numbers stick out, the worst can be found on the leaderboard of the 4-way Female Class. The Russian Illusions lost four points in Round 5, which was the slow 3-block sequence. The official score for this round will most likely not... (more)

Did you know that France scored "only" 25 points for a sequence with Block 22?
posted: Jan 9th, 2011 The NSL News is taking a chance again by jumping ahead of the official scoring and using information from participants on the competition site. This did not work out perfectly accurate last time, as NMP-PCH Hayabusa's 20-pointer in Round 5 turned into a 19-pointer on the NSL leaderboard, which is also still unofficial. However, it gives the audience at least a pretty good timely impression of what is happening at the Dubai Championship 2011, and the official truth is usually not far away. The scores for the slow Round 5 were somehow a milestone for the three top contenders. Nobody made it to... (more)

Did you know that Round 3 was the only penalty round for the top teams so far?
posted: Jan 9th, 2011 The scores for Round 5 on the NSL leaderboard are unofficial, of course, until they are posted on the event pages of the International Parachuting Commission (IPC). The unofficial Dubai information comes from participants on site, like the Airspeed and Hayabusa members who also service their own Facebook pages with short notes. NMP-PCH Hayabusa's 20-pointer and the other scores for Round 5 were reported by Arizona Airspeed, and the 20-pointer seems to be in question. Hayabusa's Andy Grauwels had a different take on Round 5: "Round 5 was a very clean jump, where we tried something new which... (more)

Did you know that only NMP-PCH Hayabusa mastered Round 5 with a 20-pointer?
posted: Jan 9th, 2011 The leaderboard at the Dubai Championship 2011 is obviously up-to-date now. Judges and host took care of this first thing in the morning. In the meantime, the teams have completed Rounds 5 and 6, and the unofficial scores of the three top teams are available. Arizona Airspeed also uploaded the videos of the last two rounds. The video of Round 5 shows the slowest sequence of the competition. Only one of the three top teams managed to keep the score at 20 points. Craig Girard reported that NMP-PCH Hayabusa completed the second Monopod of Block 4 just at the end of the working time. (more)

Did you know that Alpha Armada was charging hard in Round 3?
posted: Jan 8th, 2011 Another scoring update came unexpectedly late from the Dubai Championship 2011. The judges returned to their desks after dinner, completed the scores for Round 3 in both 4-way events and even added Round 4 in the female category. NMP-PCH Hayabusa's Roy Janssen was right when he predicted bad news for his team after finishing the day: "Today two more rounds in the books. Round 3 was an average jump, as Andy already mentioned. Probably we have 3 busts in it which means 33 down to 30." The judges had only a 30-pointer for Hayabusa, and Arizona Airspeed didn't have much more luck. An earlier... (more)

Did you know that Airspeed's new video is two rounds ahead of the scores?
posted: Jan 8th, 2011 It is difficult to take, but it seems to be the truth - the day is over at the Dubai Championship 2011, and the leaderboard is not up-to-date. Rounds 3 and 4 have apparently been completed, as Arizona Airspeed has uploaded the video of Round 4. It looks good once again, even though the Airspeed comments were not the same as before: "We were a little scrappy but still going for it for all we are worth. We took a different engineering than most, so we'll have to see if it pays off." (more)
