2006 Valentine's Money Meet
*YAWN* The webmaestro has rolled out of the sack
and is headed for the DZ shortly with laptop and camera in tow. A peak
outside shows -- what's this? Clouds? We haven't had rain here in over 4
months. Forecast says partly to mostly cloudy, cool and breezy. I'll be back
shortly...

Here is your other important link for this weekend: http://skyleague.com. Kurt is here too to cover the meet! Here is you quick link to the latest scores: http://skyleague.com/pages/scores/index.php.
A
brief walkabout with the camera and it looks like the new Fastrax 2006
lineup is going to be great fun to watch. I spy Mark Kirkby and Doug Park
in there. First round scores are posting soon...there to the left are
judges Barry, Al, and MaryBeth, dub mistress Amy, and Mr. Skyleague
himself, Kurt at work on his laptop...Airspeed Odyssey has the early lead
with a 34, two better than Fastrax and three up on Airspeed Velocity...
...here are the results tables from the scoring system; please note that the links to the team pages won't work this weekend, and the links to the scoring summaries won't work until the end of the day...UPDATE: scoring summaries are being updated each round...
...the skies have turned sunny and gorgeous, it's perfect skydiving out
there...

The meet is motoring right along and round 2 is in the bag. All the
teams look like they're having fun and putting up some good scores. Some
clouds are threatening to slow things down, but I doubt they will...I just
got Kurt hooked up with a video feed from the DZTV output on the scoring
processor to his laptop, so check out his site later for some video...
1200
Eliana Rodriguez still has the most dazzling smile in competition
skydiving...and she's not a bad skydiver either, from what I hear
;-)...we're almost done with round 3...the overall skydiving quality
appears to be very high for so early in the season...I ran into a couple
of the Golden Knights a few minutes ago; they explained that their new
team is no where near ready for competition...also the Knights overall are
short-handed because of the war... as usual, there is a very large
and enthusiastic wuffo presence here at Skydive Arizona...
1400
Airspeed
Velocity positively spanked round 4, drawing a good round of applause from
the DZTV viewing area, and they pull ahead of Fastrax for 2nd place...
...I'm swapping old war GK stories with GK Brian Krause...we have herrs Gaebel, Wagner and Krause here gabbing it up...where's the (German) beer...
1500
Round five is almost done...bipole > bipole out the door is always
loads of fun...
1630
Coming down the home stretch here. It doesn't look like there will be
8-way tomorrow for lack of enough teams (I think there are two right
now). Okay...it's a wrap now, and Airspeed Odyssey has put in a solid
six rounds to start their season out on a winning note. Velocity looked
good too, and it's going to be veeeeeeeeery interesting to see how Fastrax
2006 looks by the time nationals rolls around -- right here at Skydive
Arizona in October. See you there! - Tim "T2" Wagner
