It was obvious after Round 9 that Airspeed Odyssey would shatter the old word record average of 24.1 owned by the Sky Panthers. The only question was how high the Arizona team could keep it. The first two rounds of the meet were the average builders. However, the following eight sequences were not really that fast. Airspeed Odyssey had still managed to score higher than 20 points, no matter what the sequence was. The lowest Airspeed score were 21-pointers in rounds three and seven. Round 9 is now on NSL-TV, enjoy the show.
