Listed below are a few 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 evening, March 17, 2007, at the Quality Inn Dundee, Florida. Three qualifying jumps on Thursday, March 15, 2007 are discounted at $21 USD each and must be purchased separately from Florida Skydiving Center.
