Hey Chris, what about those of us who will be coming but not really interested in the team event? Last time I competed at SkyQuest my teammate and I were told by the judges that we could not compete if we used our practiced (crossing) setup. As I seriously doubt that I will have anyone to practice with at Raeford prior to the meet, I am just wondering how a person's standings would be affected if they could not compete in that event? Not that I am going to win anything at that meet, but I would just like some clarification on how the individual scores (for ranking) are to be tabulated.

Hey Chuck, glad to hear you are considering a Florida trip.
The idividual scores will not include any team scores. There will be eight jumps in the individual comp. Each jump will be worth points with the highest combined point total after 8 jumps winning.

In lane will have ten zones each worth 10 points for a max total of 100.
S carve will work the same with 10 zones and 100 points max.
Carving accuracy will have quad gate and zone points for 100 points max and Freestyle will follow PST rules and points with Karine Leblond doing the judging.

We will give money for first second and third individual and the team events will be seperate.

Team will consist of two lanes with 10 zones each worth 10 points for a total of 200 points max for each team run. A perfect score for each team after two jumps will be 400 points. All events except freestyle will require competitors to make it out of the water to score. (Chow rules)
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Jim Slaton will also be at the event. He will be announcing. He announced the event in Colorado and did a great job and has agreed to come to Florida to announce at Skyquest. I am trying to talk him into doing some demo jumps with his new weapon, the JVX, but he will not be competing.

Hope to see ya
Chris

I assume this will be different from the 'bank rule' you had last year where you got penalized half your score for the round.

Is the water level going to be higher then for this year?

Thanks.

The "bank rule" or Chow Rule, which is the same as the Pond Swoop Nationals at the Ranch chow rules, will be the same as last year. We will have the pond filled higher for this year than it was last year. And yes if you land in the water and get a Chow penalty you will only be awarded half your points for the run.

Better call the Fantasy of Flight folks and have 'em turn the water on now just to make sure ...........and bring food for the gator.

Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Anyone who touches the gator gets an automatic 100 point bonus.

Just kidding.
