posted Jun 5th, 2011 - The Northern German Championships 2011 has been stalled by weather after seven rounds. Final Four DeLand may not have the opportunity to complete a 10-round competition this weekend.

In the meantime, teams in France have completed the first meet of the Coupe de France 2011. This competition began earlier last week and applied a separate competition draw, which will be added later to the event's leaderboard.

Six teams competed in the AAA Class competition, and additional 18 teams posted scores in the French intermediate class, which applies different rules and a different competition draw, as well. Monaco Rebootizer Aerial took the 1st place in France where none of the national A- or B-Team lineups attended the meet.

It was the 4th competition for the Monaco team this year, which makes it the busiest team of the 2011 season so far, together with Black Cat. The Rebootizer Aerial lineup with new member Franck Vazille posted the first scores at the Dubai Championship 2011 and then went indoors for the Aerokart Indoor Championship 2011.

More windtunnel scores followed at the World Challenge 2011, and last week's Coupe de France competition was the second outdoor competition this year for the new lineup.

The NSL News introduced new member Franck Vazille with the story on 22 March 2011. He goes far back with his Monaco team mates Didier Boignon and Jeff Ronzevalle.

The Monaco lineup and the team name have changed a few times over the years. However, three team members (Didier Boignon, Stephane Mattoni, Jeff Ronzevalle) and videographer Claude Ferraro have been together since the team was formed in 2003.

Franck Vazille, with three 8-way silver medals for France at the World Meets in 1991, 1993 and 1995, plus gold medals at the World Cups in 1992, 1994 and 1996 under his belt, seems to fit perfectly to the team's chemistry. It is probably no surprise that the Rebootizers enjoy attending meets.

It will be interesting to see how far the new lineup can push the performance and scoring level. The Monaco team is not aiming at world records or world championship titles any longer. However, it is always more fun to make better skydives and score higher. As Jeff Ronzevalle said earlier: "Once a competitor always a competitor..."
