The total of 161 points for July is the new record number for the Paraclete team, which was outscored only two times so far. The Czech teams posted 164 points at the Hurricane Factory in June 2016, and iFLY Dallas boosted the total for the same month with a 57-pointer to 170.
Paraclete XP finished the month with four of the six highscores. The Hurricane Factory team might have come close to the same total with a score for the R Class sequence.
In fact, the Czech teams are four points ahead of Paraclete XP (130 - 126) with the total for five of the six sequences that both teams submitted scores and videos for.
One of Paraclete XP's Rookie Class lineups (David Bramble, Rebecca Bramble, Morgan Womble, Matt Acord) made the difference with the 35-pointer for the R Class sequence.
The leaderboard is not complete yet, and the situation could still change as soon as iFLY Seattle submits some of the missing numbers.

It is no big surprise though that the well trained Czech national 4-way team is now facing tough competition from the USA. Paraclete XP's AAA/AA performance keeps becoming stronger, and the July lineup included two reigning world champions.
Golden Knights 8-way member Drew Starr and his team mate Matt Acord, 8-way champion of earlier days, had a new ICL competitor in their 4-way lineup for the July sequences. Jen Davidson is a reigning world champion in 4-way Women after winning the gold medals for the US Army and the US delegation at the FAI Mondial 2016.
Her team did not continue this year, and she was selected for the new 8-way lineup of the Golden Knights. She also competed with her husband Matt Davidson, Sean Sweeney and Kurt Isenbarger in 4-way with the Golden Knights Gold team at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2017. The NSL News had introduced Jen Davidson with the Turning Points story for Blue Skies Mag on 16 February 2017.

The Indoor Cloud League event at Paraclete XP was not only exciting for the 4-way participants on the top level. Jen Davidson was also available as a player coach in two Rookie Class lineups. Not many new 4-way players get the opportunity to join forces with reigning Formation Skydiving world champions, and the opportunity was there for Courtney McCarthy, Sean VanAcker in the RR Class lineup. Morgan Womble was on Jen Davidson's side as a player coach in this lineup.
Andy Gonzalez and Heather Pinsky had the same opportunity in the RRR Class lineup with a more challenging July sequence. Matt Acord was helping as a player coach in this category, and he was also in the R Class team together with Morgan Womble.
The ICL events at Paraclete XP have become very popular, as new participants have this outstanding opportunity to learn directly from world champions and well trained 4-way competitors. The August sequences offer the next opportunity...
