However, Round 8 was probably the more interesting one, as it became the first time that the French Aethers Medjay gave away a highscore. The three U.S. teams right behind Aethers Medjay all used the opportunity of a weaker French performance to win Round 8 by a point.
Aethers Medjay had started the Sunday action in the same top shape of Saturday and won Round 7 clearly. The scores of Round 8 came as a surprise, and the NSL TV camera may have caught the only French weakness of the whole competition. They corrected it quickly in the next round where they did not only win back the lost point in Round 8 but added few more points to the demanding lead over the Golden Knights, who suffered three point deductions in the second round of the day. The NSL TV camera was running again when the 4-way Open Class teams were ready to enter the flying chamber for the last round of the competition. Round 10 also had to offer the fastest sequence, while it brought a slot-switcher to all AAA Class teams. It was still the opportunity for most of the teams to finish the meet with the highest scoring number for a single round.
The 45-pointer in Round 10 added five points to the lead over the Golden Knights, who still finished closer to the French national team compared to the Wind Games. The distance was 36 points in Spain a few weeks ago, and the U.S. Army team now placed 2nd behind Aethers Medjay, and only 28 points behind.
The Golden Knights are the new U.S. indoor champions, after outscoring Tunnel Vision in the re-match of the duel at the Wind Games, and after dethroning the previous indoor champions, Arizona Airspeed. However, the Golden Knights will not return to Paraclete XP for the FAI Indoor World Championship 2025 in April. Arizona Airspeed will compete with three of the national champions of 2024. Last year's national indoor championship was the qualifier for this year's world championship, and Airspeed will be eligible with three team mates of 2024 and new member Doug Hendrix in the tail slot.
