chachi 0 #3 July 15, 2004 the other day someone formed a team for fun, wanting 2 guys and 2 girls and a camera guy. i was to slow. so, if anyone is wanting to put dz.com team B together, I'm all in. ~rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #5 July 17, 2004 It's nice to be connected and have something 'in writing' before hooking up with an unknown team. However, if you just arrive and show up at the DZ I'm sure you'll get picked up within the first hour. For some reason there are always teams who forget that Nat'l's don't have a video pool anymore. Teams have to bring there own cameraflyer. There seems to be a camera shortage again this year, so if you're an experienced team flyer you'll be used. :^) ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #6 July 17, 2004 Oopsss. Just clicked on your profile and saw "CSPA". You're talking about Canada's Nationals. Sorry. And if for some reason you did mean USA's Nationals, you'll have to inform your team they'll be flying as a 'guest' team (ineligible for medals) since you're not an U.S. citizen. The cameraflyer is part of the team now. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chachi 0 #7 July 19, 2004 Actually i was talking about US nationals. I was not aware that teh camera guy had to be from US. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #8 July 20, 2004 QuoteActually i was talking about US nationals. I was not aware that teh camera guy had to be from US. ~Chachi Yep. You do. Plus be a member of USPA. Like I mentioned, if the team who picks you up doesn't mind being listed at 'guest' then you're invited (just get a membership from USPA). In fact, I spoke to a team from Colorado this weekend about you. (they were out training at Perris from Mile High). They did not have a cameraflyer. If they're interested, they know they can find this thread here and PM you.

chachi 0 #9 July 20, 2004 Thanks, I really appreciate it, I am just looking to get some competition experience flying for a team. I think it would really be fun and challenging. Anyway, again thank you. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skyyhi 0 #15 July 21, 2004 Actually, the SCM clearly states that a US Citizen or Resident Alien carrying an INS registration card - or even someone granted temporary residency on thier passport (an I-551 stamp) can compete. It's quite clear. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes a whole lot more sense. Here's the actual text: "Competitors who are not U.S. citizens must posess a Resident Alien Card U.S. INS Card I-551, or an L-551 temporary stamp in their passport. " How do compeditors prove their citizenship? _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyyhi 0 #17 July 21, 2004 Good question. . . Passport or DL and Soc Sec Card are usually sufficient enough to prove citizenship or Alien Registration status. . .as far as I know. . .don't know what they are going to be looking for during registration for the nationals though. . .________________________________________ Take risks not to escape life… but to prevent life from escaping. ~ A bumper sticker at the DZ FGF #6 Darcy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ltdiver 3 #18 July 22, 2004 The last few years I've competed it was your U.S. driver's license that had to be shown during registration. Besides, if a team has a foreigner in its ranks pretty much everyone knows about it. This is a small community and word gets around. People better play straight or they'll get a untrustworthy reputation which will tarnish they're ability to compete again. ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
