Objective:
During descent under canopies, canopy formation teams perform a sequence of canopy formations drawn from the dive pool. Each round consists of five formations and there is a maximum of 8 rounds in competition.
Teams:
Each team may consist of up to four members, including the team videographer, but only three may compete on a jump. In the Pro-Am class, one of the competitors is new to the discipline (amateur) and one of the competitors is a pro (professional).
Exit Altitude:
Each jump is made from 8,000 feet AGL.
Working Time:
2-Way Sequential Teams have a working time of 60 seconds.
For all events, the working time begins at the moment of the first complete separation of a grip from the first scoring formation, whether correct or not, or 30 seconds after the exit of the first team member (including the team’s videographer), whichever is first.
Grip:
a hand hold or foot hook on the “A” lines or front riser so that a formation is built in accordance with the configurations as depicted in the dive pool.
Scoring:
Teams will be awarded one point for each correctly completed formation which, apart from the first formation, is preceded by total separation within the working time.
Teams will not be awarded points for incomplete formations, nor will there be any penalty.
Dive Pool:
