posted Jun 6th, 2018 - It did not take very long until the next set of Indoor Cloud League scores were ready to be posted. The latest update added the May scores and videos of the 4-way powerhouse at Paraclete XP to the 14+ leaderboard.

The Paraclete team was once again spearheaded by the U.S. national team in 4-way Women, Phoenix XP, who posted the two scores for the two 4-way Open Class sequences, the slot switcher in the AAA Class and the 5-point sequence in the AA Class.

The May competition featured another horse race between the best trained teams on the Indoor Cloud League leaderboard, HF Flying Circus, Phoenix XP and Seattle Swift. In fact, HF Bad Boys were a part of this high-profile AAA/AA Class competition, as well, as they had posted exactly the same scores for the two sequences as HF Flying Circus. These four teams all completed the same number of points before penalties (23) for the AAA sequence and were almost just as close in the AA Class.

Phoenix XP member Lauren Byrd and Golden Knights 8-way world champion Drew Starr guided three other lineups to the Paraclete highscores in the four additional categories for the month of May. However, the total of 116 points was the lowest one of the year and allowed the Hurricane Factory to add 27 points to the 2018 lead.

Paraclete XP joined the Indoor Cloud League at the beginning of the 2017 season and soon began to challenge the Czech ICL team at the Hurricane Factory.

The group of Czech 4-way junior and senior teams had dominated the Indoor Cloud League competition between 2014 and 2017, first on the 12+ leaderboard (2014 - 2015), then on the 14+ leaderboard in 2016. The Czech team had joined the Indoor Cloud League in 2013 and took the lead on the 12+ leaderboard for the first time in 2014.

The Florida Skydiving League's ICL team managed to stay close in 2014 and 2015 before Jan Klapka's group of well trained 4-way teams picked up the pace and distanced themselves from the other ICL teams.

Paraclete XP's participation soon created pressure on the Hurricane Factory team, and the Paraclete team won for the first time in April 2017. In fact, Paraclete followed up later with five consecutive first places between November 2017 and March 2018. Jan Klapka must have noticed the trouble and came back with winning numbers in April and May this year. The Paraclete XP team is next to find a way back to the top...
