Both Airspeed teams, Perris Fury, and the Golden Knights are in a race for the Bronze. Round seven is coming up and should be the last round for today. Round 9 is complete. This was a fast round J-L-Q-P-18 (Donut-Adder-Phalanx-Sidebody-Zircon/Zircon) Russia- Black Cat 29 AS-Odyssey 27 AS-Velocity 25 Deland Groove 25 Fastrax 25 GK-Black 24 Perris Fury 24 FiaZco 23 Mass Defiance 22 Elsinore Gravity 19 Synchronicity 19 Top Ten Standings going into the Final round Ten Deland Groove in the lead 189 (21.00)avg Fastrax (20.78) 2 pts behind leader GK-Black (19.56) 13 pts behind AS-Odyssey (19.44) 14 pts behind Perris Fury (18.89) 19 pts behind AS-Velocity (18.67) 21 pts behind FiaZco (17.00) 36 pts behind Mass Defiance (16.00) 45 pts Elsinore Gravity (15.67) 48 pts Synchronicity (15.00) 54 pts Unless Fastrax comes up with 2 extra points, for a jump off, or 3 points for the win; Gold will be Deland Groove, Silver for Fastrax. The race is still on for Bronze between AS- Odyssey and GK- Black. Round 9, Airspeed out scored the Knights by 3 points. If they do it again in round ten, Airspeed will be the Bronze medalist. Round Ten is another fast round; E-O-5-D (Meeker- Satellite- Opal/Opal-Yuan) edit: Interesting Footnote: Russia outscored DeLand by 4 points in round 9. If they do it again in round 10, USPA Nationals will be won by a Guest Competitor."Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reginald 0 #88 October 23, 2006 4 way open is killing me! Round 9 complete and the top three teams are within 2 points. It's anyones meet to take. Round 10 with an E, O, 5, D should be a great one! I'm pulling for Fastrax!"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

Samurai136 0 #89 October 23, 2006 Golden Knights Black apparently had several Brainlocks and scored a 20 in Round 10. This drops them straight out of medal contention. Round 10 Scores Deland Groove 33 Black Cat 31 Fastrax 29 AirSpeed Odyssey 31 USPA Open Nationals Gold- Deland Groove 22.2 avg Silver- Fastrax 21.8 avg Bronze- Airspeed Odyssey 20.6 Avg Congratulations USPA Medalists!"Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherB 0 #97 October 23, 2006 Strange. I can understand the desire for the "group hug" thing, but realistically many people need to leave once their event has finished. Oh well! I ain't running the show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #98 October 23, 2006 Ooops. Well they did well anyway, the GK-Black. Why GK-Black? They didn't have a GK-Gold this year as well, did they? I think they did well none the less, after all Eric was coaching as well as competing, they only had 30-ish jumps before Nats, they had to arrive from 2 different states and meet in AZ, Oh! and next year my prediction will be true- GK Gets GOLD! Ok 8-way here we go!An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #99 October 24, 2006 I know. Thats a long time to sit around and wait on getting the dinner and watching the medal awards. Last year they had complaints from the artistic and canopy events that no one was around to see their awards since RW split early in the week or wasn't there yet, this year people are going to complain since they have to wait so long from wrapup of 4way/8 way until the medals and will split. No matter what someone is going to complain...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #100 October 24, 2006 Perris Storm! not bad for 20 training jumps and no expectations! We had a blast, and the entire advanced class was really very evenly matched this year. I think we went from 3rd to 9th to 5th in two rounds, just because the scores were so close. I want to give a HUGE hats off to Perris Fury...they had an awesome meet! Clean, smooth, and calm, this is the next team to watch, I'm telling you all now...Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!
