Award Categories:

1. Formation Skydiving Exits (FSE-4)

(2 jumps; in aircraft video/stills)

Awesome	10 points
Pretty Cool	8 points
Grips/No flips	4 points
Funnel/Busted Grips	0 points

2. Speed Formation/Formation Skydiving (SF/FS)

(2 jumps; air-air video)

a.Speed Formation segment: You have 20 seconds to score points, starting with any jumper release of the aircraft. The star is the first formation for both these dives so you get two shots at that mutha! The mandatory inside and outside center link can be any one or two-handed grip either to form the first point, or not, as grip switching is allowed. AT LEAST ONE GRIP must stay intact for the formation to qualify for points in this segment. So if the “base” funnels, don’t let go!

1 to 5 seconds	10 points
6 to 10 seconds	8 points
11 to 15 seconds	4 points
16 to 20 seconds	2 points
21 to 60 seconds	0 points

b.Formation Skydiving segment: Starts after exit formation is correctly built, or after 20 seconds if unable to qualify for speed formation points, or after you go unwittingly to the second point without a correct exit formation. Forty seconds total working time from first jumper off the plane. One point for every correctly built formation. Must have proper sequence and clear break between points. Everybody on, everybody off. No grip switching. Why crawl and climb when you can fly?

First Dive: Star, Canadian T, Opposed Diamond, Bipole
Second Dive: Star, Opposed Stairstep, Stairstep Diamond, Zipper

3. Stack-out Team Accuracy (TA)

(2 jumps; ground judging)

Spacing and Spot	10 points
Correct order	10 points
Pattern and heading	10 points

Points will be shaved from each category by the esteemed panel of judges and hecklers, with unsafe acts such as “red-light” release, cornfield or RW landings, near collisions, high stalls, and/or exposed bone, costing big deductions.

4. Individual Accuracy (IA)

(6 jumps, landings from all previous jumps; ground judging)

You get what you get on pilot spots for the 4 high jumps. We will consider allowing a team to exit other than first if it would mean hosing the team or other jumpers. You gotta go on the green light on those. The concentric 10-meter burned grass rings are valued at 10 points in the center (including the peas), with subsequent rings worth 8, 6, 4, and 2. Single point deduction for anything not considered a standing landing. First foot down counts in that ring; and no fly-by stabbing at the center in a long swoop allowed. Extra points for a reserve landing in the rings, but you better have a scary malfunction to show for it. Practice your stacking on these jumps so you can nail the team event!
