This years 4way and VFS nationals are now completed and it has been a day of drama. Sadly 14 teams did not have alternates to be able to jump today and so some of their rounds are busted which will be reflected on the online scores.
Starting with the Rookie class, both the eventual winners, Naughty Slots and the second place Perpetual Chaos were making significant mistakes. In Round 5, Perpetual Chaos had a massive meltdown to score only a 2 in time with Naughty Slots taking 6 points off them. This was reversed in Round 6, where the slide went 5 points in the other direction. Bronze medal went to a deserved RAFSPA Firefly who entered quite a few different teams over the past few years. They took their places with a total of 72 points.
Moving on to the single A class. Positions here were a lot more space out. Hibaldstow local team Kintama took the gold medal with a huge 16 point lead over Flywild. It is worth noting that Kintama only did weekend training. Bronze medal was a 3 way battle between Sky Dogs, Nobody Expects The Wurst and Almost Petite. It took strong nerves to put a good performance into their final round and with that Sky Dogs got the bronze by 1 point with a score of 77.
In the AA class, Phoenix has been consistently pulling away from Equal Pay 4 Women round by round, except for Round 5 where they dropped 4 points. They did a great job and held onto gold being matched equally in the last 2 rounds. Bodyflight Aero took bronze with a total of 118.
AAA class saw a difficult triple blocker for the final round 10. It was obvious that Voodoo would take gold with a fantastic 19.5 average which was just shy of their target 20 point average. For many years they have competed as a guest team as they come from South Africa originally and have been their national team for 14 years. This time however without Gary Smith and with Liz Matthews (Women's World Champions) instead, they steamed ahead with a commanding 10 point lead over Vision 99 and get the medal as a UK team. It was a nail biting round 10 decider over who would get the silver though between Vision 99 and Kaizen. Both teams were solid, but Vision 99 were slightly faster. Not bad for a team who had to change their line-up twice this year.
Surprise team of the year goes to 4Mula who came from nowhere with Kate Lindsley, David Rogers, Joey Jones, Sian Stokes and Mike Coleman to take 4th place with a 17.4 average.
Last but not least, special mention must go to the VFS categories team QFX who have worked away steadily year by year to win with a decisive average of 9.4. Well done also to the 2 scratch teams Tequila and Fist 4 Glory who took part. VFS is not an easy discipline to compete in, but it shows such amazing dynamic moves and block designs to make it a growing discipline for the future.
