WOW!!!!! What a step in the right direction!!!!! The Knights of Prague Dynamic 4 way Tournament was exactly what we set out to do. A professional-looking competition: not only in terms of the level of the performances themselves, but in terms of the whole package.
We all want this fantastic sport to grow, a lot of people have put a lot of time and dedication into making this happen. And it’s a great feeling to see the result of all the work everyone has put in really pay off.
Judging by Competitors
The real win is that so many current competitors and professionals from the sport are willing to help with all aspects of getting the competition as awesome as it can be. The most positive comments came from competitors acknowledging the judging, as it was judged by current high level competitors who know exactly what they are looking at. This has been the main issue most of us have had with skydiving competitions over the last years, that the judging has been by people who are not active in the sport.
On top of this it is such a long and difficult process to become a judge it’s hard for competitors to even take on such a role, a strange situation that logically should be the other way around, it should be easier for current competitors to become judges. But for this Dynamic 4 way tournament, we used top level current competitors to judge and help make the rules.
This lead to not one single competitor or spectator having any problems with any of the scoring or decisions. The best foundations for a very thrilling and entertaining battle of flight!!!
Live Stream
Then we need people to see it, enter the live stream, broadcast live via the internet to over two thousand homes! And this time we had multiple angles, graphics and instant replays!!! There is still always room for improvement but I know everyone involved is so happy at how it turned out. You can still catch the broadcast at Dynamic4way.net/live
Skydive Arena
A large part of the success is down to Skydive Arena, they bent over backwards to accommodate all the demands of this level of competition. From sponsoring a workshop the month before for a group of organisers and competitors to assemble and test out every possible variable, to hosting on the day such a well prepared and next level competition.
Competitors
Of course the real heroes are the competitors who put so much dedication into their training and traveling all the way out to Skydive Arena, without which it would have all been for nothing. So thank you Skydive Arena, Prague and Thank you all you AWESOME competitors.
High fives to everyone who made Knights of Prague – Dynamic 4-way tournament possible; we had a blast at Skydive Arena and the live feed was SO cool!
Winners

“It was a year ago when I sent first message to Håvard…Let’s make the 4-way dynamic here in Prague at Skydive Arena and Håvard said YES, YES, YES! Since this time we started to work on it! I am still super excited how many awesome people working so hard on this concept and I am so happy that we can be part of this community!
“I think that we did an awesome event and maybe we opened this sport to more people! The live stream has already 2,037 views and our Facebook page has almost 1,000 likes and both are still growing, which is awesome! This would never happened without a lot of wonderful people who helped us. Huge thanks to Skydive Arena, Roman Weck, all competitors for coming, judges and Mike for help, our instructors and lots and lots more others!!!”
