Questions
and Answers regarding the SOS world record event.
Q. Should I register if I'm not sure that I can
attend?
A. Yes. Registering just lets us know if you are planning to
attend. We
know the event is months away..... we are not asking for a commitment
yet.
Q. When I register, do I get a slot?
A. Sorry, but no. Slots will be assigned by SOS organizers and
coaches
AFTER participants complete three qualifying jumps
scheduled
for Thursday, March 15, 2007. There will be a comprehensive video
debrief after
each qualifying jump. SOS organizers and coaches will critique each
applicant's
individual freefall performance, including fall rates and compatibility
with
other jumpers. Applicants may indicate their individual slot preference
however,
actual slot assignment will be determined by coaches and organizers.
Thursday
evening, SOS organizers and coaches will review videotapes from each
qualifying
jump. Friday morning, March 16th, names will be assigned to slots for
the first
round of SOS world record jumps. Participants not selected for the
initial round
of SOS world record jumps will continue to jump with other SOS
participants,
Friday through Sunday. Each jump will be organized and coached by SOS
event
managers with full video debrief. Friday through Sunday, SOS organizers
and
coaches will move jumpers into, and out of, each world record formation
attempt.
By Sunday, March 18th, every registered SOS jumper will have had the
opportunity
to participate in at least one SOS world record attempt.
Q. What is the cost?
A. Registration for SOS participants is $325 USD. This includes
eleven
jumps Friday through Sunday and one ticket for the SOS Reunion Banquet
Saturday
