Did you know that the Qatar teams had different destinations last weekend? posted: Feb 26th, 2024 The NSL News reported on February 22nd that GKXP8 and Qatar Falcons would have their next match-up at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2024. The ten indoor rounds were completed on Sunday morning, and the outcome of this duel between the two best 8-way teams in the world was as expected.
There is still no 8-way team on the planet at the moment that could challenge GKXP8, even though the U.S. 8-way team is currently idling on their own scoring and performance level that nobody else is even close to. The Qatar Falcons are in a similar situation, as they continue on the same level that they... (more)
Did you know that Arizona Airspeed have lost three of their last 107 competition rounds? posted: Feb 24th, 2024 The 4-way teams at the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship 2024 started the first day of the competition before the sunrise in Raeford.

Arizona Airspeed, Golden Knights and SDC Rhythm XP were together in the second group of teams, and the NSL-TV camera captured the major upset in the first round.... (more)
Did you know that GKXP8 and Qatar Falcons switch back to indoor competition? posted: Feb 22nd, 2024 The Paraclete XP Indoor Championship was launched as a 4-way indoor competition in 2008, mostly with teams from North Carolina. The Paraclete XP home team won, with Andy Honigbaum, Kirk Verner, John and Tim D'Annunzio in the lineup.
There was no 8-way indoor competition in the world at that time, even though the windtunnel in Bedford had enough space with its 16-foot flying chamber. The annual World Challenge was only a 4-way competition, until Paul Mayer added 8-way to the event agenda in 2018.
Paraclete XP offered their first 8-way competition as a part of the Paraclete XP Indoor Championship... (more)

Did you know that half-year substitutes have worked well for U.S. national 4-way teams? posted: Feb 18th, 2024 The NSL News reported the recent personnel change for the U.S. national team in 4-way Women on February 16th. The update provided some details of new member Jennifer Davidson's career, which included the outdoor world championship title of 2016 in 4-way Women.
It is an interesting fact that Jennifer Davidson is the only XPG4 member who has won a gold medal in 4-way Women so far. It is very likely that the complete XPG4 lineup will be in possession of 4-way Women gold medals at the end of this year. However, it would be the first one for Michelle Karamon, Jeana Billings and Brenn Richards, even... (more)
