Are there going to be any qualifying event in order to participate?

Hey Ivan, there are no qualfying rounds in order to compete. We do have two categories for the pilots to compete in. We have a handicap system in place that gives everyone the opportunity for prize money. Whenever you join the organization we will supply you with a membership card that will indicate whether you are a advanced or intermediate pilot which is determined by you on the membership application. E-mail me at info@cpafl.com for more info.

That's ok, most of the fun jumps I make are freeflying anyway - 4-way, freeflying or swooping. You should come down April 3 for the 20 way HD dives, should be fun.

Yeah I saw that. Problem is that I have a commitment to my DZ most weekends this year (and the ones I have off I'll be at swoop meets!!) so I won't be able to make that. Of course the excessive jumping I plan on doing all year should make up for it

I believe Lake Wales is planning on building a swoop pond if they get the bid for the IPC world cup...

Sadly so, the only dz that cares about swoopers is Zhills, very swooper friendly, lets hope its contagious. There is a rumor that Lake Wales is moving that way. Guess all of the Florida swoopers will have 2 places to jump. Glad both are only 2 hours away from where I live.
