2008 VALENTINE’S DAY MEET INFORMATION
XXIVth Annual Meetline

This will be the 24th year for the Valentine’s Day Meet! We will have FAI judges scoring the event using Omniskore. 4-way will use IPC rules. There are no plans for an 8-way event. However, if any 8-way teams wish to be scored, we may be able to arrange that.

National teams planning to compete at the World Championships will be able to use a Pilatus Porter as their jump aircraft. All other teams will compete from Twin Otters.

The meet standings and awards will be based on six rounds of competition. Hopefully we will complete those on Saturday, weather permitting, and present awards at sunset Saturday. Teams interested in jumping the full draw will be able to jump, and be scored, through ten rounds. For these teams I expect we will be able to complete seven rounds Saturday (with good weather) and finish the final rounds before noon on Sunday.

lineSchedule

Friday: Practice and Registration. Draw and Briefing at 6:30 PM.

Saturday: Last minute registration 7:45 to 8:00. Fifteen minute call at 8:00 AM

Sunday: any unfinished rounds. If weather on Saturday is poor, we will make a decision on Saturday afternoon as to how many hours of jumping we can complete on Sunday. This will depend on departure times for judges and competitors.

lineFees

Jumps plus $35 per person ($175 per team.)

lineClasses

Teams can compete using the draw appropriate to their training goals: IPC dive pool (USPA Open/Advanced, NSL “AAA”) or USPA Intermediate (NSL “AA”). Whether or not there will be a NSL “A” class will depend on interest. Medals and prizes will only be awarded in events with three or more teams competing.

lineRules

There were no changes to the IPC rules or dive pool at the recent IPC meeting. The meet will be scored according to current IPC rules, except for the tie breaking method. In the event of a tie in the first three places, whichever team has the highest scoring round will be declared the winner in place of a jump-off.

Thanks, and see you at the briefing!
