posted Mar 15th, 2013 - The videos of Round 4 are showing how Evolution came back and was able to match Arizona Airspeed's pace without penalty trouble. It was the only round so far where the Canadians did not have to suffer point deductions.

However, Airspeed allowed the competition only a very short breather. Round 6 closed the deal already to the advantage of the reigning world champions. Airspeed won the round by six points over the closest contenders. It is very unlikely that anybody could still claim a chance for winning the competition and the $3,000 for the first place. Sky Panthers Barkli and Evolution both will probably be glad to win or tie a round here and there.

Arizona Airspeed would also have the security of winning the USPA Nationals 2013, as the Paraclete XP Outdoor Championship 2013 has always produced the winner at the qualification event for the next World Championship of Formation Skydiving. SDC Rhythm XP, main opponent in the USA, is currently far behind. It was still only the first day, and five more rounds will provide much more information.
