Review National Skydiving League Championship 2000
by Kurt Gaebel, NSL - nsl@skyleague.comPD Blue added more medals to their collection. It was no surprise that DeLand PD Blue won the National Skydiving League Championship 2000. The other eligible and qualified teams for the final event of the NSL 2000 season could not really give the bronze medal winner of the U.S. Nationals 2000 and of the World Cup 2000 a serious competition. DeLand PD Blue has now won the NSL Championship all three times consecutively since the introduction of the National Skydiving League.
However, the championship event on Sunday, November 19, still offered very close races for the medals between other teams, especially the semifinal duel between FSL team Optic Nerve and Georgia Skydiving League Champion 2000, Nemesis. And it ended with a surprise. After the two rounds of the semifinals, Nemesis was 0.2 seconds ahead of Optic Nerve to win the slot in the championship finals against PD Blue. Optic Nerve went on to overpower P.A.H. from the Carolina league in the final two rounds for the bronze medal. P.A.H. had earlier eliminated DeLand PD Gold in the quarterfinals as another surprise.
Although teams from the leagues of the Western Skies were missing, the event was a great success. The attending teams enjoyed the challenging competition format with the traditional format on Saturday and the speed event on Sunday. Skydive DeLand welcomed a large crowd of approx. 5,000 spectators over the whole weekend. The local print media covered the event the week prior to the competition and with follow-ups. TV News Channel 2 reported the results with pictures Sunday night. The TV production for the 30-minute show at the Sunshine Network was successfully completed.
