Did you know that the A Class competition had the closest finish in Roosendaal? posted: Dec 19th, 2022 As every year, the ISR Grand Prix applied once again all four NSL categories. Teams on the AAA Class leaderboard have received the attention that they deserve, even though it is impossible to cover the complete field of teams.
The NSL News has followed the indoor event since 2010 when a total of 19 teams attended in three of the four NSL categories. The participation grew very quickly to 41 a year later, with the highest number of teams (20) in the Rookie Class.

Did you know that the HF Chameleons lead by seven points after 38 competition rounds? posted: Dec 18th, 2022 The NSL News has followed the 4-way junior teams in the Czech Republic since Jan Klapka launched the school project years ago. His efforts resulted in a 4-way Junior world championship title, the first FAI gold medals for a team from the Czech Republic. The HF Cubs, 4-way Junior world champions of 2019, are now one of the top contenders for FAI gold medals in 4-way Women at the next indoor world championship in Slovakia next April.
There was no internal Czech qualification necessary before the 2019 event at Weembi Lille, as the HF Cubs were far ahead of all the other Czech junior teams at that... (more)
Did you know that Finland and Czech Republic will have a re-match after the 1-point battle in 2019? posted: Dec 16th, 2022 The national 4-way teams of the Czech Republic (HF Flying Circus) and Finland (Pro Team) met each other for the first and only time at the FAI Indoor World Meet 2019 and battled for the last Top 10 spot on the 4-way Open Class leaderboard through all ten rounds.

Did you know that Dallas Dynasty had a complete reunion at the Indoor Cloud League November event? posted: Dec 15th, 2022 The iFLY Dallas team confirmed the top position on the Indoor Cloud League leaderboard with the total of 131 points for the month of November. The ranking order for last month's competition reflects exactly the leaderboard for the whole year, with one more month to go.
The missing November scores from iFLY Colorado Springs will not change the positions on the top of the leaderboard, while the 2022 scores between ICL Midwest and iFLY Colorado Springs are close enough to offer a competitive finish of the Indoor Cloud League year.
Kyle Hermberg's iFLY Dallas team seems to be in a very strong... (more)

She has been a player-coach for the 8-way lineups of the Veloce QRF and Hell Week events for a while before she decided to put together an all-female lineup.
She had her first lineup with only female 8-way competitors together at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2022. The team (QRF3) was a part of the Veloce QRF Hell Week project and finished in 7th place with a 16.0 average,... (more)

The update included the introduction of NFTO's new team member Elizabeth Kennedy and the lineup for the indoor winter season, after NFTO unexpectedly won the British Indoor Nationals. NFTO's indoor qualification and the plans for the FAI Indoor World Championship 2023 brought back memories of the previous event at Weembi Lille in April 2019.
