The Norwegian VFS team Blue Pelican had shown it during the opening ceremony on Monday and then kept it hidden on Tuesday.
They received the yellow card for the violation of the Fun Flag rules, even though team member Derek Nordlund Broughton said that his team simply forgot to bring the flag to Skydive Arizona in the morning. However, Blue Pelican followed up, and they were on their way to letting it fly again on Wednesday when the next party took possession of it.

Did you know that Joey Jones and the Fun Flag filled the wind hold time with updates? posted: Oct 9th, 2019 The FAI Outdoor World Cup was on a wind hold on Wednesday just when the 4-way teams had completed their 6th round. Meet director Brian Byrke at least accomplished his first goal, which was the 6th round in 4-way.

Eventually, they appeared too frequently, and Bryan Burke put the whole meet on a wind hold.

Did you know that there are several interesting 4-way and 8-way double duties in Eloy? posted: Oct 9th, 2019 The 8-way competition of the FAI Outdoor World Cup lived up to all high expectations on Tuesday morning, and it seemed to be difficult for the 4-way event to match the level of excitement and thrill this time. Most often, the 4-way competition takes the center stage, and the 8-way teams do not get as much attention.
It surely is different this time, as the 8-way competition could not be much more exciting than it is. The three top teams are closer to each other than ever before. However, the 4-way re-match between new U.S. champion SDC Rhythm XP and Arizona Airspeed offers everything that could... (more)

The NSL News reported with an update on August 29th that Skynamite would have "serious work ahead" to master the qualification requirement that the German skydiving federation (DFV) had set for the 4-way Women event.
