posted Sep 16th, 2013 - Arizona Airspeed's new lineup missed the 20-pointer club membership with the 19-pointer in Round 9, and all team members are now focusing on the 8way competition.

The Golden Knights are out of reach for Airspeed and Paraclete XP8 both. However, the traditional duel between those two 8way lineups is just as exciting as it would be for the gold medals. It could be even more exciting than ever before, as XP8 has a very strong lineup this year.

Airspeed has never been defeated by any Paraclete XP 8way lineup. This time, XP8 took the lead in the first round and has defended it successfully in Round 2 and Round 3. It could become another horse race on a world class 8way level.

The Golden Knights seem to perform on a very similar level where they were in December 2012 at the Mondial Dubai 2012. New team captain Sean Sweeney had to replace Brian "BK" Krause who guided the previous lineup to the gold medals in Dubai.

Jeshua Stahler is the new team member, and Sean Sweeney said that his new lineup is not far from the previous performance level with the new young 8way competitor.

Brian "BK" Krause has joined the Paraclete XP lineups in 4way and 8way and is now an opponent for his former 8way team mates and for the female 4way lineup of the Golden Knights. In 8way, he competes together with FAI Judge Eric Heinsheimer who is showing that he still performs on world class level. The 8way teams will complete four rounds today.
