Did you know that French national coach Jerome David provided an update for the NSL News?
posted: Jun 12th, 2005 The NSL News story on June 6 offered a preview of the 8-way event at this year's Malevsky Memorial Cup. The NSL News looked back at the world meets in 2003 and 2004 to see how the 8-way event may turn out next month in Russia. The top five teams of the last year's world meet in Croatia have all signed up for the Malevsky Cup 2005. The NSL News story concluded that France will most likely be one of the top contenders in the 8-way event.

posted: Jun 11th, 2005 The NSL News went back to the topic of international eligibility for first-category events in the Sporting Code of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) with the story on June 9, 2005. The first part of the story finished with the question on the Italian side: "What happened between December 2004 and the end of May 2005?" The FAI's "Air Sport General Commission" (CASI) had scheduled a regular annual meeting for Friday, May 20, 2005, at the FAI headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, while the Italian team with Pete Allum in the new line-up continued with the scheduled team training...

posted: Jun 10th, 2005 The NSL-TV coverage of the FSL Shamrock Showdown 2005 slowly comes to the end. Round nine is currently featured, one more round to go. The timing seems to be just right. The end of the Shamrock Showdown coverage will be very close to the beginning of the Malevsky Cup 2005, which will offer the next world class 4-way competition on NSL-TV. However, there is not only the world class level that deserves attention. Great competition happens on several different scoring and performance levels. It is well worth to check out the videos of the other competition classes, too. (more)

Did you know that the case study on Pete Allum's eligibility status is back on?
posted: Jun 9th, 2005 The NSL News reported of the "Pete Allum case" for the first time on December 24, 2004. The Christmas news announced Allum's plans to join the Italian national team Sinapsi PD. He has had resideny in Italy for several years due to his very popular coaching activities in the South-European country, as he confirmed with the NSL News in December. However, there was a paragraph in the rulebook of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), which appeared to be an obstacle for Allum to be eligible as a competitor for the Italian national team at the World Championship of Formation Skydiving...
