posted Sep 16th, 2013 - DNR member Ben Liston, original Center Inside of Mass Defiance, said that Round 7 would be the last opportunity for teams to improve their standings significantly. The Golden Knights did exactly that and seem to have secured the bronze medal position before going into the last three rounds.

The female 4way lineup of the US Army delegation, silver medalists at the World Cup 2013, even tied Paraclete XP's 21-pointer in Round 7 and are now four points ahead of Carolina Turbo XP in the race for the USPA bronze medals in the Open Class competition.

Arizona Airspeed is just competing for their own numbers on the scoreboard, and Paraclete XP4 is another four points ahead of the Golden Knights.

Paraclete XP4 will take the USPA silver medals that SDC Rhythm XP won last year. The lineup at this year's national championship is probably the strongest one that XP4 had in the team history.

Reigning 4way world champion Josh Hall and 8way world champion Brian Krause are competing with Kirk Verner and John D'Annunzio. The 2013 lineup did some indoor and outdoor training this year and may end up with the best meet average in XP4 history.

Paraclete XP's 8way lineup seems to have a very good chance to add more silver medals to this year's collection. Kirk Verner provided the lineup information this morning. Solly Williams, Andy Delk, Brian Johnson and Eric Heinsheimer will join forces with the XP4 lineup and challenge Arizona Airspeed as every year. It will be a very exciting race for the 2nd place in 8way, as well.
