Hybrid Record Judging Draft 2

[TallGuy 0]

This draft eliminates the altitude requirement, adjusts time requirements, and requires that the base be built as planned. It has also been reformatted to more closely resemble the format used for the Vertical Star Crest Recipient award requirements. That said participants successfully completing the record requirements MAY also qualify for a vSCR award assuming there are at least 8 people in the formation and that the stingers can silmultaneously remain docked on the formation for 5 seconds or more.

Background:
In the interest in creating a dropzone.com record category that allows people across skydiving disciplines to participate on equal footing I'd like to establish a new hybrid record category.

The following suggestion for guidelines has been posted in the interest of establishing a standard for judging dropzone.com hybrid record attempts. This does not pertain to Hybrid RW (turning points between two or more complete hybrid formations).

If the draft is rejected by 25% or more I'll revise it with any generally accepted suggestions and submit another draft in one weeks time. If this gets to the 4th draft and is rejected by 50% I'll just leave it to someone more qualified to establish the standard.

2nd draft follows:


The formation may launch up to a 4-way base. No more than one-half (1/2) and no less than one-quarter (1/4) of the formation may fly belly to earth (flat). Participants of the formation not flying in a flat position must either be docked in a hanging (sitting or standing position while suspended from the flat base) or stinging position (sitting, standing which includes standing on top of the flat formation, heads-down, and inverted). The formation must be built as planned. All hangers must simultaneously hold their position under the flat base with all preassigned grips for a minimum of 5 seconds. During this time all stingers must hold a dock on the formation for at least 3 seconds. Judgable video is required to qualify for the record.

for a minimum of 5 seconds.

Why this when the RW records dont require time anymore?

because anyone can start hanging but only someone who is doing it propperly can stay that way.

Same with RW big ways.

Dont get me wrong, I do think the 3 second rule should have stayed, but, if you wanna get inline with the FAI rules for records, you may as well adopt the same basis: controled formation (is I think the way they phrase it)

Thanks Rémi. I'll take that under advisement.
