posted Nov 1st, 2012 - The joined effort of the two Golden Knights lineups, plus Kirk Verner, John D'Annunzio and Andy Honigbaum, works better in the 16way competition of the USPA Nationals 2012 than the Arizona Airspeed 16way lineup for the annual reunion.

GKXP has won every single round so far and is up by 14 points after Round 4. No other team is close to the two top teams, and Deguello has to work for the bronze medal position.

The GKXP lineup of 2011 won by only two points. This year's 16way competition was over after Round 2 where the Golden Knights/Paraclete XP combination added six point to the 2-point lead after Round 1. The new NSL Reality TV clip includes the GKXP video of Round 2 displayed on Omniskore's HD screen in the viewing area.
