Important Notice: Artistic Events
In the Rules Specific to the Event for Artistic Events, there is a discrepancy in the published dates. On page 11 the starting date is listed as October 25. On page 12 the date is listed as October 24. The latter date is the correct one, as recognized by the IPC when the 2005 World Cups bid was accepted. Official Practice will take place on the 23rd and the draw will be that evening. Competition jumps will begin the morning of the 24th and end no later than sunset on the 28th.

Important Notice: Skysurfing
Although the 4 NACs required by the Sporting Code for a First Category Event will not be present in the Skysurfing event, winners in this event will be officially recognized as such by the IPC.

Reminder to all Videographers
