posted Feb 25th, 2018 - The three missing rounds on Sunday morning at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2018 did not change much on the top of the 4-way leaderboard.

Arizona Airspeed added six more points to the lead for a 27-point difference to SDC Rhythm XP and confirmed the scoring level of the Wind Games 2018. Rhythm posted the next team record average, which was still far from being enough to threaten Airspeed seriously at the indoor competition.

The new Golden Knights Gold lineup integrated Drew Starr very successfully, and they defended their U.S. 4-way position behind Arizona Airspeed and SDC Rhythm XP.

Ranch 2nd Generation keeps climbing up the rankings in the AAA/Open Class and even outscored Rhythm and Golden Knights once in Round 7, followed by a very strong Round 8 on Sunday morning.

Parachute Montreal Fuzion managed to catch up with Phoenix XP by adding the missing point in Round 10. They added an extra round to break the tie of the internal 4-way Women duel, and the Canadian visitors won Round 11 by two points.

Gary Smith, who is coaching the Qatar Falcons at the 8-way competition in Raeford, and Arizona Airspeed's Niklas Hemlin discussed the situation on the leaderboard at the end of the first day.

The conversation included the international situation and the strongest opponent, NMP PCH HayaBusa, the reigning 4-way world champions, who are surely following the Paraclete competition from Europe. Gary Smith has been working with the Belgians for several years, while Airspeed recently added a coaching session with Gary Smith's former Equanimity and DeLand Majik team mate Solly Williams.

Solly Williams was coaching three Golden Knights and JaNette Lefkowitz to the 4-way gold medals in 4-way Women at the FAI Mondial 2016, and Airspeed tried to use his experiences. Training camp and Paraclete competition were successful, and Airspeed may follow up with more external coaching...
