posted May 21st, 2014 - Last weekend's AA Class leaderboard was totally under control of the teams from the United Kingdom. The Danish teams competed only in the AAA and A categories, and the three teams from Florida had a hard time to keep up with the British top pace. Only Zunday's new lineup, with Point John Stares, was able to hold a place in the middle of the AA Class leaderboard.

It was still a big move for Zunday with the team's first competition in the AA Class after two years in the A Class. New Point John Stares has only seen the Rookie Class competition sequences in his first years of 4way competition with different lineups from Skydive City.

However, some of the British teams (Fr4gment, Funnel Vision, Entropy, ChatterChicks) were in the same boat with Zunday, and last year's A Class teams all matched up for a good competition in the middle of the overall AA Class leaderboard last weekend.

The teams in the first three places were newly formed for the 2014 season. Fiasco came back for a second year in the AA Class competition and missed the bronze medal position at the UKSL season opener by one single point.

Winner Phoenix, runner-up Equal Pay 4 Women and Bodyflight Aero were not new to the Sun Path Products NSL News audience though. The three teams had competed in the AA Class competition of the World Challenge 2014, as well, together with Fiasco.

Phoenix has taken the top spot of the leaderboard away from the AA Class winner at the World Challenge, Equal Pay 4 Women. Fiasco and Bodyflight Aero were separated by one single point after the ten indoor rounds and had the same exciting battle last weekend. Bodyflight Aero edged out Fiasco by one point this time.

It seems like Equal Pay 4 Women and Phoenix will continue to challenge each other for the UK top spot this year.

The UK pack of last year's A Class teams finished within striking distance of Bodyflight Aero and Fiasco and will probably be eager to get even closer to the medal rankings at the next meets this year.

By the way: British A Class team Meteor also tied the highscores for a round two times in the first three rounds, as yesterday's A Class update shows. Meteor is another UK team coming back this year in a new category after competing in the Rookie Class of 2013 and winning the bronze medals at the UK Nationals.
