Gamma Ray Kassel consists of three former X-Ray Remscheid members (Steffen Schiedeck, Uli Sehrbrock, Henning Stumpp) and Petra Bärenfänger, who trained and competed with the Chicas. The three former X-Ray members were all members of earlier German 8way lineups at World Meets and World Cups, and the Chicas represented Germany at several international meets in the female 4way category.
Henning Stumpp was still in the German 8way lineup at the World Cup 2011 before he married Petra Baerenfaenger and both decided to train and compete together in a new lineup.

Petra Bärenfänger outscored her husband Henning Stumpp who finished in 3rd place with Dynamite. Uli Sehrbrock and Steffen Schiedeck formed a pickup team (Mixed Forces Remscheid) with two other ISB Air Remscheid members (Anne Heinrich, Pia Weingart) for the German Nationals 2011 and ended up in 4th place.
All Gamma Ray 2012 members scored significantly higher with their 2011 lineups, but it was a challenging situation at the beginning of the 2012 season. All four team members are trained in front pieces, and two of them had to volunteer to fly the rear piece. Henning Stumpp (Center Outside) and Steffen Schiedeck (Point) are now back in their familiar slots, while Uli Sehrbrock and Petra Bärenfänger have to train the rear piece from scratch.

The Usual Suspects have a new team member, as well. Carsten Reese joined the team this year and had his first competition with the new lineup at the World Challenge 2012.
The Usual Suspects started the 2012 season with a lower meet average compared to the German Nationals 2011. However, the distance to last year's 4th place team is down from 17 to 2 points, and the Usual Suspects gave up the earlier lead only in Round 8 and Round 9. Gamma Ray will most likely move up to a higher performance and scoring level very soon, and the Usual Suspects will do their best to keep close. The 2012 race for medals at the German Nationals 2012 is on.
