News Article Did you know that the Golden Knights spoiled Craig Girard's birthday party in Round 9?
posted: Jul 29th, 2007 It is obviously no news that the Golden Knights have been giving Airspeed Odyssey a very hard time throughout the seven rounds of the first day at the Paraclete XP Money Meet 2007. Nothing changed in the first round on Sunday morning. The two top teams tied their scores once again and for the fourth consecutive round.

News Article Did you know that Airspeed Odyssey lost a point in Round 2?
posted: Jul 28th, 2007 The scores of Round 1 are posted, and Airspeed Odyssey continued in Raeford as the team's performance ended in Russia. The 20-pointer for the slowest round of the meet is in the books, Airspeed is on its way to exhibit another meet result on the team's new scoring level.

The previous record scores on this level always included sequences with only random formations, which boosted the averages to a record level. This time, all AAA Class teams don't have the benefit of an extremely fast round. It doesn't seem... (more)
